Description
The symbolic nature of Delikoura’s works is influenced by her fascination with mythology, ancient civilisations and her surroundings. She extends her exploration of mediums in this series of works on Japanese rice paper, which form the preliminary drawings behind the painting ‘The banana falls very, very far from the tree’, as each work uses fragments of discarded banana package labels. Each drawing weaves a narrative of romance with an organic process, capturing a celestial moment through the movements created. The titles are individual acknowledgments of feelings and thoughts that seem almost completely separate from the subject matter, yet are inextricably tied to the textures and colours within the drawings.

Lydia Delikoura
Lydia Delikoura (b. 1996, Athens) is a Greek mixed-media artist based in Athens, known for her unpredictable exploration of diverse mediums inspired by their natural decay and metamorphosis. Fascinated by the transformative power of colour and the interconnectedness of art, history and life cycles, Delikoura’s work is a testament to the complexity of her process, where various elements take centre stage, bridging the contemporary and the ancient, from a pink Coca-Cola can to marble sculptures from Elefsina.
Lydia Delikoura is one of the first artists taking part in ITERARTE’s variations series and showed at the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens (2024). She is a graduate student of UAL, Camberwell College of Arts and Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently studying Marble Sculpture at the School of Fine Arts, Panormos, Tinos.
