About the Artist
Athena Petra Tasiopoulos is a mixed media collage artist and fine art photographer based in Central Vermont. A Pennsylvania native, she studied at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, where she graduated in 2008. Her work illustrates the beauty, fragility, and truth of the present moment; the meditative poetry that can be found in the quiet and mundane. Tasiopoulus works with recycled and found vintage papers encased beneath a layer of encaustic (beeswax), gravitating towards soft, muted colors - warmed and stained by time. Repetitive patterns and primitive marks carved and scraped into the surface of the wax speak to the imperfections of the human hand and the vulnerability of materiality.
Her work is collected internationally and has been featured in publications such as ELLE Magazine (USA and Japan), Frankie Magazine (Australia), Collage by Women: 50 Essential Contemporary Artists by Rebeka Elizegi (published by Promopress, Spain).
