Artist Statement
Hi! My name is Kika, and I am a Contemporary Patternist from London.
I create art by letting patterns flow naturally, starting with a simple shape or feeling and allowing them to grow into unexpected compositions. My work includes colourful paper collages, paintings, and prints that are both explorations of form and expressions of inner emotions.
Growing up in a Greek Cypriot family, I learned from my grandmother, a refugee, that art can be a sanctuary during difficult times. When I lost my father in 2017, art became a way to process grief and rediscover joy. Through each piece, I transform complex emotions into vibrant patterns that reflect both nature and inner landscapes. My art serves as a reminder of the connection between sorrow and joy, expressing the harmony between our inner worlds and the beauty that surrounds us.
