Olga Souvermezoglou (b. 1997, Athens, Greece) is a visual artist currently based in her native Athens. She received her formal training at the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA), where she undertook an Erasmus+ exchange at Rotterdam’s Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA), specialising in Fine Art and Photography.

Artist Statement
The starting point of my art practice is the political dimension of art and its capacity to influence society and vice versa. I explore themes such as the relationship between humans and nature, urban life, collective memory, and the complex components that shape cultural identity including language, tradition, origin, and gender.
Drawing inspiration from historical events, my work involves thorough research through online sources, physical archives, and informal interviews. I often juxtapose personal narratives with historical documentation and ready-made objects to highlight their ongoing significance. These investigations are translated into diverse media: video, mechanical sculptures, textiles in the form of flags, photography, and performance.
Through site-specific installations, I aim to create immersive experiences that invite viewers to reflect on the past through the lens of the present and to imagine new possibilities.
