Biography
Stella Meletopoulou (b.1964, Athens) studied drawing and illustration at ESAG Penninghen and Academie Charpentier in Paris (1983-87). After her studies, she worked as an illustrator in Athens. She studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts with Z. Arvanitis and A. Antonopoulos as her teachers, sculpture with N. Tranos and iconography with P. Samios (2002-8). She graduated from ASFA with Honours and was a scholarship nominee in 2004 and 2006. Meletopoulou has held five solo exhibitions: Modern Aesthetics, Astrolavos art gallery, Athens, 2009; Human Geographies, Nitra gallery, Thessaloniki, 2011; Invisible threads, Skoufa gallery, Athens, 2016; Papers scissors on the rocks, TWOS concept store, Paros, 2018; and Game of threads, Karouzou gallery, Zurich, Switzerland, 2018. She has participated in more than 50 group exhibitions in Greece, France, Turkey and Switzerland. Some of them are: Art Skope, Basel, Switzerland, 2018; Art Athina, 2021 and 2019; A heap of broken images where the sun beats, Aegean Center, Paros, 2018; Salon des Indépendants, Grand Palais, Paris, France, 2012; and Sismanogleion Megaron and Theological School of Chalki, Istanbul, Turkey, 2010. Meletopoulou mainly works with abstract painting and, since 2016, has incorporated three-dimensional wall-mounted works in her practice, using threads and symbolic elements, developing and evolving at the same time a personal semiological expression. She lives and works in Athens.
