Who Am i

My name is Myrto Grigoriou (b. 1995, Larissa, Greece) and I am a visual artist, working with the medium of photopraphy and cinematography. Through my work, I am trying to craft a visual language through my exploration of memory, time and the subconscious. My journey into photography began with courses from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, seminars at the Athens School of Fine Arts, a photobook workshop with Yorgos Yatromanolakis in Zoetrope, Athens and right now I am studying and researching in Master of Arts (MA) in Fine Arts at Middlesex University London through AKTO Art and Design College.

In my artistic development, I try to delve into the subconscious, exploring the psychological dimensions of spectation, socialization and emotion and searching through them the sociopolitical impacts and extensions. Over the last five years, my work has been published in various online and print platforms and showcased in group exhibitions in Athens. I specialise in backstage documentation, collaborating with artists to capture the ephemeral energy and atmosphere of creative processes. I currently work between Greece and Belgium, continuing to merge my documentary practice with an introspective, observational lens.
