Stella Kapezanou
Stella Kapezanou (b. 1977) is a Greek artist working across figurative painting and ceramic sculpture. Her practice explores the emotional architecture of femininity, examining the shifting spaces between power and vulnerability. Often depicting women poised between stillness and tension, her protagonists inhabit interiors that feel both intimate and staged, as if suspended within unresolved narratives.
Through vibrant color, stylized environments, and symbolic motifs, ranging from decorative patterns to enigmatic animals, Kapezanou creates scenes where intimacy and distance coexist. Beneath the polished surfaces, her figures reveal psychological complexity and subtle commentary on contemporary lifestyles, consumerism, and identity.
She studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and at Chelsea College of Arts in London. In 2024 she received the Fulbright Artist Fellowship. Her work has been presented in exhibitions across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. She lives and works in Athens.
