Defining Wave Painting

Margarita Lypiridou is a visual artist, painter and printmaker. She studied painting, photography and applied arts in her native Greece and England, before relocating to Montreal in 2002. She holds a Master’s degree of Fine Arts in Studio Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Print Media from Concordia University, Montreal. In the summer of 2021 Lypiridou set up her art practice in her hometown, Thessaloniki, Greece, where she will be spending most of her time. Her studio is now in the heart of the Mediterranean city and her painting is infused with the surrounding vistas, smells and sounds of it.
