Tina Psoinos explores the feminine in its different manifestations. Through a multidisciplinary practice that includes abstract painting, pop art, and photography, she focuses on uplifting positivity and empowerment, as symbolic amplifiers.
Psoinos uses mark-making inspired by nature and patterns found in city life in her abstracted work. The same mark-making becomes the background in Psoinos’s pop art using mixed traditional and street art techniques with urban art aesthetics while sneaking in personal references of her Greek heritage and her life in Manhattan. Drawing on powerful imagery, she uses these concepts to also create and develop inspired site-specific installations.
Psoinos was born in Athens, Greece, and currently lives and works in New York City. She received a BFA and continued her studies towards a Masters in Photography at Hunter College (New York, NY) and Interior Design at Fashion Institute of Technology (New York, NY). Psoinos has received many awards for her artistry and has exhibited internationally, including at the Photo Biennale in Berlin and Madrid and many art fairs during Art Basel Miami. She has been featured on NBC, AD Italia, and Huffington Post and nominated at EMST, The National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, Greece. Her work is in private and public collections internationally, including The World Bank Headquarters and Yuko Nii Foundation.
