My name is Aggeliki Bozou and I am a multi-tasking artist and graphic designer who specialises in illustration and moving images.
Since 2010, I have been creating and developing independent projects related to:
- the design and illustration of picture books
- the education of the arts through an instruction-free prism
- designing and producing educational videos and series for museums and institutions on issues related to social and environmental awareness
- designing innovative, interactive installations, workshops
and events for children and adults.
My latest book, What Are They Looking At?, was honoured with the BRAW Amazing Bookshelf Award at the 2024 Bologna International Children's Book Fair, featured in dPICTUS's Unpublished Showcase 3, and was further awarded by Greek IBBY and EVGE Design.
I am also an ARTWORKS Fellow (2019) supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
I believe in constant change and creating new forms and textures that serve contemporary aesthetics while maintaining close ties
with Art History, traditional techniques, and materials.
I focus on the importance of art in everyday life and my concern for nature, people and their unique perspective.
