Froso Papadimitriou was born in Thessaloniki, Greece where she studied applied arts, illustration/sketching and graphic design. In 2006 she relocated to London to further her education, completing a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Middlesex University and an MA in Arts Management and Policy, Curatorial and Educational pathway at Birkbeck University of London.

 

Froso experiments with multiple art forms, such as painting, art installations, drawing, sculpture and video. Her work is defiantly anthropocentric, focusing on behaviours and social dynamics. Whilst trying to identify her place within the ever-shifting social exchanges, Froso critically analyses narratives of identity, origins, beliefs and normalities that construct our social environments.

Unsettling yet other times playful, symbolic or direct, her artworks are an invitation to exchange thoughts and viewpoints on the binaries that resonate between ourselves and our role within social environments.

​

Froso has collaborated with national and international galleries in UK, Greece, Turkey, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Portugal, USA, Taiwan, Japan, Sweden and China. She has also contributed to various publications in UK, Taiwan, USA, Greece, France, Germany and Argentina.
