Artist Statement – Evangelia Psoma
Evangelia Psoma is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans drawing, video, cut paper, and sustainable materials such as crystalline paper surfaces. Her work explores the layered complexities of female identity, often through the prisms of archetype, myth, and temporality.
By working across both two-dimensional and three-dimensional media, Psoma moves fluidly between intuitive and methodical approaches. She frequently incorporates archival sources—from folklore, poetry, and contemporary narratives—allowing material and concept to inform each other symbiotically.
Psoma does not aim to depict external visual reality as an end in itself. Rather, she uses it as a starting point to evoke internal states—juxtapositions of tension, memory, and form. Her artistic language constructs an introspective cosmos, where oppositions like chaos and order, vulnerability and strength, coalesce within the framework of a contemporary female gaze.
