Ioanna Voskou was born in Limassol, Cyprus in 1976. She has graduated from the Athens Technical University, School of Fine Arts in 2000 after a 5 year course. Ioanna has entered and finished the University with fa ull scholarship, achiving  her degree with “Honors”. Her major course was in Painting. Ioanna has taken also additional courses in Icon Painting, Sculpture and Wood Carving

 

 After her graduation she has participated in several individual and group exhibitions both in Cyprus and abroad. As an artist, Ioanna is concerned with the presence and absence of human existence and the role materialism plays with regard to feelings; however, as she continued to explore these themes, Ioanna Voskou moved on to another level of expression and creativity, turning to the camera for inspiration. She is fascinated by the idea of memory and “keeping moments alive” but also by the idea that before and after the moment is captured, everything changes. Thus, through her paintings the viewer encounters an ever-moving reality in which only the images captured stay behind.

 

Ioanna has been recently invited by the well known organisation of Greece, Afisorama, to transform a number of her paintings into a limited edition prints.
