Christina Kyriakidou

I am a Glasgow-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice involves sculpture, painting, performance and digital art media. I graduated in 2019 with a First Class Honours in Contemporary Art Practice from the University of the West of Scotland.
Inspired by Western consumerism and wastefulness, I aspire to make art that raises existential questions and addresses environmental issues. Despite me being a multidisciplinary artist that experiments in different areas of practice, I often reintroduce the use of waste in my work. I have been collecting debris from beaches and rural areas and encapsulating it in my 'Monoliths', but have also been using rubbish as part of my outfit in street performances. Trash is seen as a direct documentation of a consumerist way of life and
simultaneously, a visual representation of modern-day stress and addictions.
