photo: Born in Athens, Greece Tina Karageorgi has been making art since she was a child but, has officially studied it since 1978. In this, her mature stage of development she offers us images that in their ability to interact historically and contextually epitomize the new conceptual art and are relevant on a global scale. Rather than being post-modern pastiches that is- that may have combined different historical elements in a single work- her visual essays harmonize into holistic works replete both in their unique vocabulary and syntax
