Christy Avraam graduated from from Central St Martins Art School in 1999. She has won and been short listed for numerous awards and prizes both regional and national. Her work sits within the space between Fine Art and Design working to commission as well as on her own portfolio of work which is shown and sold all over the UK. She makes installations, sculptures, mosaics, paintings and prints.
Her skill lies in her conceptual thinking, a diverse palette of materials is used during the thought process to illustrate her ideas. She uses wire, metal, glass, photography, drawing and other materials. She also paints figuratively and has an interest in contemporary Freudian theory.
She shows work in galleries and at Art fairs all over England and Europe, collaborates with architects for national prizes and in December 06 was short listed for a national artist-architect prize to build a Pod building on the Isle of Wight for a new Arts Council initiative. She has works as an artist in residence all over the South East of England.
In February 07 she was featured in Arteris magazine and was interviewed by Greek National television for the 'Eimaste Etho' programme in March 07 for her contribution to the Arts as a British woman of Greek heritage.
