Athina Koumparouli is a visual artist and art conservator, with an MA in Post-Industrial Design and Artistic Practices, based in Athens, Greece.

​

Her work has been presented in Greece and internationally, including the Kochi Biennale (2025), Eleusis –European Capital of Culture (2023), Paxos Biennale (2024), and Dutch Design Week (2019), among others.

In 2025, she presented a solo exhibition at a.antonopoulou gallery in Athens.

 

Her multidisciplinary practice explores archaeological methodology as a tool for artistic practice. Through the dynamic interaction between these fields, she explores issues related to different perceptions of the environment and aspects of the environmental crisis, through both present and speculative scenarios.​

 

For her, archaeology is not just a way to study the past, but also a tool to think and talk about the future.

​

Koumparouli's research focuses on sites in transition, which may include industrial areas, sites affected by natural disasters, and archaeological excavations. Investigating material culture in relation to living landscapes, she creates works and installations she refers to as material narratives.

​

She has participated in artist residencies in the Netherlands (BioArt Laboratories, Eindhoven), Italy (ECEc Laboratory, Rome), France (W Atelier, Paris), and Greece (G&A Mamidakis Foundation Research Residency Programme, Crete,- Mystery 19, V.A. Initiator, Elefsina 2023).​

In 2025, she was selected by the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Greece as a mentee for its mentorship program. She has been awarded by ARTWORKS (2022) and is a Fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artists Support Program. In 2022 and 2023, in collaboration with the University of Ferrara and supported by Culture Moves Europe, she developed an artistic project connected to an ongoing excavation on the Appian Way (Rome).
