Bio

Evgenia Vasiloude is a versatile artist-printmaker from Cyprus. Graduating in 1988 with a MFA from the State School of Fine Arts in Kiev, Ukraine, she has has been active since 1992 across nine solo exhibitions. Internationally, Evgenia has displayed work in Slovenia, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Switzerland, the UK, France, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the US.

Her work Hymn to Demeter was awarded the second jury prize at the 9th Cairo International Biennial, in 2003. Her creations are housed in various collections such as the State Collection of Contemporary Cypriot Art, as well as in banks and private collections. From 1989 until 2021, she was an art teacher in Secondary Education. She is a co-founder of the Cyprus Printmakers Association, with which she actively collaborates in organizing workshops, exhibitions, and other events.

Vasiloude’s early work was focused on the female figure, realised through references to mythology - especially the goddess of nature and fertility. Later, she embraced written language as a subject alluding to classical texts like the Homeric Hymns. More recently, Evgenia’s work has explored the subject of identify, with works unfolding at the nexus of nature, femininity, ecology, and the fragility of life. Evgenia is committed to a poetics that celebrates the manual artistic process; viewing theprintmaking act not only as procedural but ceremonial as well; akin to prayer.
