Tina Psoinos
New York, NY
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for ~Georgia O'Keeffe
MessageNow that’s what I call art!” — Master Photographer Roy DeCarava, National Medal of Arts 2006, describing Tina Psoinos’s work
Tina Psoinos explores the feminine in its different manifestations. Through a multidisciplinary practice that includes abstract painting, mixed media, and photography, she focuses on uplifting positivity and empowerment, as symbolic amplifiers.
Recurring layers of memory and reflections on time, inform the work referencing pop culture, the urban NY art scene and her Greek heritage while engaging the viewer in a playful array of light and texture, allowing for their own particular associations to come through. Her extensive training and keen eye for color and composition lead to dynamic abstracts with nature inspired mark-making. The same mark-making becomes the background in her mixed media pop art that pays tribute to iconic figures. Drawing on powerful imagery, she uses these concepts to also create and develop inspired site-specific installations.
Psoinos was born in Athens, Greece, and lives and works in New York City. She received a BA in Fine Arts 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 multiple art fairs during Art Basel Miami. She has been featured on NBC 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, Yuko Nii Foundation, 550 Madison and Trump Tower.
