Eleni Kotsoni’s work explores the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and space. Her installations resemble three-dimensional mosaics composed of fragments (spolia) from various materials that evolve unpredictably, inviting viewers to engage actively.

Drawing inspiration from archaeology, Kotsoni merges geometric abstraction with patterns from pre-classical antiquity and ancient Greek abstract art—reflecting a time before patriarchy and realism dominated imagery, when precision was less rigid.

Her use of dispersed knitted patterns expands canvases into sculptural forms, where repeated gestures organically disrupt architectural order. These fragmented installations often incorporate hidden messages, transforming the space into a text-object hybrid.

For Kotsoni, art is a transitional experience—an event rather than a static object. Gesture and craft serve as a bridge between security and interaction, making the artwork a site for exchange and communication.

Her abstract world challenges contemporary visual conventions, provoking sensory experiences detached from symbolism or cultural references.
