About

Leda Alexopoulou was born in Athens (Greece) in 1972. She studied in both Athens Schools of Economics and Business (1996) and in Athens School of Fine Arts (2004). She has a diploma in Marketing and Management and a diploma in Painting with honors from the Greek State Scholarships Foundation. In 2002 she completed a semester with the EU’s Erasmus exchange program at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule in Berlin (Germany). Currently she is back In the Athens School of Fine Arts and studies Sculpture.

Leda employs a wide variety of materials and processes in her work, effectively combining diverse artistic disciplines such as painting, sculpture, land art and design. Examining the fundamental connection between humans and nature, the artist is often inclined to work directly in a natural environment, where she can derive immediate experience and inspiration from her surroundings. Poetic and provocative alike, at times straightforward and at times verging on the surreal, her creations invariably evoke concerns about environmental issues and human existence.

Leda has exhibited her work in both group and solo exhibitions in Greece and abroad. In 2005 she was awarded as one of the six highest graded graduating students of the Fine Art School for the year 2004. An exhibition of all six graduators took place in the Benaki Museum Peireos Str., sponsored by Eurobank and curated by Mrs Nelli Misirli (former curator of the National Gallery of Greece). With her work showcasing her sensitivity towards the environmental crisis, she was invited by the Goethe Institute to participate in a Forum in Croatia under the title ‘On the brink of the next social revolution’, Forum for creative minds (March 2011, Zagreb, June 2010, Art Radionica Lazareti (ARL) / Cultural Center Art Workshop Lazareti, Dubrovnik). In 2021 she participated and awarded as one of the finalists at Larnaca Biennale (Cyprus). Her Land Art work A piece of Greece will be exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi beach, Sydney, Australia (October-November 2022).
