Martha Zmpounou

Martha Zmpounou is a Greek visual artist known for her exploration of the human figure as a space for expression and transformation. Raised near the sea in Greece, Zmpounou was drawn to art from a young age, spending her childhood painting and drawing. Her journey as an artist solidified during her studies at fine art school, where she began to view herself as a lifelong practitioner of her craft.

Zmpounou’s work delves into the complexities of the human body, portraying it as a fragmented, multifaceted entity that evolves through layering. She is particularly interested in the interplay between abstraction and representation, often working at the periphery of the figurative. Her mixed-media approach blends diverse techniques, resulting in pieces that capture the fluid nature of identity and the fragmented self.
