Maria Andrikopoulou [b. 1990] is a visual artist, based in Thessaloniki. She is a graduate of the Faculty of Visual and Applied Arts of Thessaloniki [AUTh, School of Fine Art, 2015] and she holds a Master’s Degree of the interdisciplinary programme “Art and Public Sphere” from the same department in collaboration with the Faculty of Economic and Political Sciences of the School of Political Sciences [AUTh, 2022]. In 2021, along with Fenia Rizou (3d artist – researcher) and Nelly Palaiogianni (architect – art theorist), she founded the independent art and curatorial group, fast filly.

Her work consists mostly of mixed media installations. Her research aims to “collect,” understand, and narrate the concepts of time, wandering, decay, parts and the whole, memory, and remembrance. She currently studies the relationship between digital and physical space in everyday life.

Her works have been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Greece and abroad.
