Vasiliki Nikolaidi was born in Athens in 2001. In 2019 she entered the University of Lancaster from which she graduated in 2022 with a First Class BA Hons Fine Art degree. In 2019, she was Lancaster University’s nominee for the Freelands Painting Prize organized by the Freelands Foundation. Since 2022 she is living and working in Athens. She has participated in seven group exhibitions in Greece and one abroad. Her visual art work consists of paintings on the theme of mirages and moiré patterns. Her works are not just visual games, but a conversation between materiality and digital technology. She relies on the use of oil paints to render images directly connected to the digital world. In this way she juxtaposes the materiality and sensitivity of the handmade with the perfection and purity of machines and digital technology in the process of creating images that fool the eye. This is achieved through the manipulation of colour and form.
