Kyvèli Zoi is a painter based between Athens and Paris. Influenced by her international background, Kyvèli draws inspiration from the roots of traditional music, history and social struggle. Her vision and understanding of the world take form in oneiric scenes that are constructed to highlight the value of the details that make the ordinary, extraordinary. Through figuration, Kyvèli composes an amplified theatricality that proposes glimpses into the spiritual connection between human communities and the broader natural environment.
Kyvèli has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions internationally, in Europe, the United States and Asia. Her collaborators span from galleries and institutions, to film directors and designer brands. Since 2022 she is an awarded member of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artworks Artist Fellowship. Kyvèli is also the founder of KYAN, a residency program in Athens.
