🏛️ Royal Academy of Arts

🎨 Artistic Practice
Stiliana’s practice spans sculpture and painting, currently focused on two principal bodies of work. The Spheres of Joy sculptures are monumental, hand-painted fibreglass forms in vivid colour sequences inspired by universal childhood objects such as beach balls, marbles, and candies. Conceived for both interior and public contexts, they operate as spatial landmarks that introduce clarity, optimism, and emotional resonance within architectural environments.
In parallel, her seascape paintings on aluminium explore the shifting atmospheres of sea, sky, and weather through reflective metal surfaces. These works are recognised for their luminous depth and contemplative presence and are widely commissioned for luxury interiors and private collections.

ARTIST STATEMENT
“My work examines how art can restore presence, meaning, and emotional clarity in a world increasingly shaped by noise, speed, and fragmentation. I am interested in how simple, universal forms can shift the emotional atmosphere of a public space, creating anchors that reconnect people to optimism, joy, and shared memory.
Throughout my practice, I use clarity of form and high-gloss surfaces to activate a sense of immediacy. The sculptures draw inspiration from childhood objects such as beach balls, candy, marbles, and playground toys — shapes that carry an instinctive sense of joy and familiarity. By abstracting these early memories into contemporary sculptural form, the work invites viewers to reconnect with a part of themselves often lost in adult life.
