Elena Adamou
Cyprus
Elena Adamou (b. 1991) lives and works in Nicosia, Cyprus. She studied Painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where she also completed an MA in Costume Design. During her time in Milan, she worked as an artist, performer, and textile laboratory technician before returning to Cyprus in 2021.
Her multidisciplinary practice spans embroidery, textile manipulation, installation, and video. Adamou's work explores the intimate dimension of time, the relationship between the body and personal objects, and the idea of belonging within both familiar and transient environments. She approaches the idea of origin not only as a reference to birthplace but also as a starting point for broader social reflection.
Central to her work is the notion of "safe spaces", environments where vulnerability and quiet forms of resistance allow individuals to exist and express themselves freely.
