Karolina Krasouli (1984) is a visual artist based in Athens. Following her studies in Clinical Psychology (Greece and France), she obtained a Master’s in Fine Arts at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts Lyon, in 2014. Whether in painting, photography, or film, her works explore the intersection of abstraction and figuration. Through a process of reading and writing, she extracts a set of operations for ‘rewriting’ meanings and sensations, seeking to invent a novel language. In 2015, she co-founded Alfabeto, a group for theoretical and practical research on the concept of transmission in art; Alfabeto organised a series of lectures and exhibitions at the French Academy in Rome. The same year, she was awarded a two-year fellowship for a residency at the Cité des Arts in Paris. In 2019 she was a fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation’s Artist Fellowship Program, Artworks. From January to March 2022, she was artist in residence at the Delfina Foundation in London.
