Aliki was born in Paris in 1976.
She has an MFA from The Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford University, an MA from The Slade School of Fine Art, London and an MA from The Courtauld Institute of Art where she was awarded a distinction for her masters in 17th century painting.
Aliki’s work explores the physical nature of photographic images, engaging with photographs and reproductions as objects, not merely as images. Most often working on 120 film, she points to the physical nature of her analogue prints by folding, drawing with ink, punching holes or overlaying her negatives with adhesive labels. Aliki’s work conducts an informed conversation with historical painting and acknowledges the debt photographic images owe to the history of western European paintings.
Recent exhibitions include solo shows in Oxford, London, Birmingham, Vienna, Madrid and Paris. Her work is featured in a number of recent publications including British Art and the Environment, ed. Charlotte Gould & Sophie Mesplède, (Routledge, 2022), L’Évidence, le vide, la vie; La photographie face à ses lacunes, by Pauline Martin, (Ithaque Editions, 2017) and Post-Photography: The Artist with a Camera by Robert Shore,(Laurence King, 2014).
Aliki has been working for The National Gallery, London since 2001 and has also taught regularly for Christie’s Education, The Wallace Collection and Camberwell College of Art, UAL.
She lives and works in London.
