Marios Stamatis

Marios Stamatis is an Athens-based artist, designer, and educator. His practice includes sculpture, performance, video, sound, and text. Through a de-centered physical and neural fluidity in the form of expression, his work explores the increasing influence of new forms of intelligence on the human psyche, intellect, and ultimately the body. By embracing the interconnections between organic and non-organic life, affect becomes a vehicle for rethinking these transformative co-existences.

He holds a BA in Graphic Design from Camberwell College of Art and an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University of London. He was a recipient of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship ARTWORKS 2022, and was awarded the Startpoint Prize in 2018. He has participated in various artist residency programs such as Villa Bergerie, and has presented his work internationally, in galleries and institutions such as the Greek National Opera, ACG Collection, Haus N Athen, Zabludowicz Collection, Gossamer Fog, Arebyte, Assembly Point, Beaconsfield, CAN, Outsight, Fotopub, and Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. His work has been featured in publications and platforms such as artforum, kubaparis, ofluxo, saliva, and aqnb. He is currently teaching at the Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts of the American College of Greece, and is the co-founder of the creative practice “studio precarity.”

Marios Stamatis is a participant of the Onassis AiR Extended Research Residencies program for 2024/25.
