Olga Tzimou is a photographer and visual artist. She is a graduate of the Lykourgos Stavrakos Film School and began her career as a photojournalist in the Greek press.
She works both digitally and with film, exploring photography and video. Often using the visual language of cinema as an aesthetic pathway, she creates images that conceptually depict emotional states.
In her visual art practice, she expands photography into material and spatial forms, working with different media such as fine art prints, jacquard wall tapestries, and light-based installations. Through these processes, the photographic image is translated into objects, where image, texture, and scale coexist.
Repetition and memory are central elements in her work. Her images are clear and precise, standing in contrast, as she notes, to the blurred backdrop of reality.
