Ermina Avramidou
Ermina Avramidou is a Greek multi-media artist whose practice fuses industrial aesthetics with organic forms, exploring modes of both revelation and concealment. Using hand-sculpted plastic foam finished with automotive paints and varnishes inspired by supercars, she builds bold sculptural objects that play with illusion: what appears soft is rigid, what looks fluid is fixed, and what seems to emerge may in fact recede.
Her sculptural practice began as an extension of painting, where she had long experimented with perception and depth. Her ever-evolving material vocabulary is defined by a dynamic interplay of hardness and sensuality, masculinity and femininity, strength and delicacy. High-gloss finishes lend her forms a seductive power, recalling both industrial design and organic growth.
She describes her practice as “a play of perception” and an ongoing act of transformation where each piece is not only a formal exploration of material but also an invitation for the viewer to engage in a dialogue between expectation and reality. Her practice explores the symbolic power of art-making itself: the ability to regenerate, deceive, and ultimately reimagine how we encounter the world.
