Valia Lolidou is a contemporary Greek artist, whose work focuses on anthropocentric themes, addressing concepts of identity, loneliness, and human nature. Her work often features scenes of uncanny situations that aim to bring the viewer to a state of vulnerability. The visual media she uses are photography, video-art and site specific installations, while the elements of nudity and repetition play a dominant role in her work.
Born in 1998 in Thessaloniki, Greece, Valia studied at the School of Visual and Applied Arts AUTH after passing the entrance exam for people with a special artistic predisposition, where she received her Integrated Master of Fine Arts degree in 2022 with an excellent grade.
