meet the artist

Joanna Bacas is a queer artist and writer from Athens, living and working in Berlin, where she moved to study Fine Art.

Parallel to and after her Fine Art Diploma she built a career as an avant-garde editorial makeup artist, before eventually shifting her focus back to her own work. Her transdisciplinary artistic practice spans creative direction, ceramic sculptural works, fine jewellery and poetry, makeup art, set & prop design - though she considers herself a storyteller above all.

Her work has been seen internationally, with a wide range of collaborations, publications and exhibitions including: Aksioma Institute for Contemporary Art (Ljubljana, Slovenia), panke gallery (Berlin, Germany), Die Angewandte (Vienna, Austria), HGW Supporting Queer Arts (Athens, Greece), Milan Jewelry Week, Budapest Jewelry Week, National Theatre Of Greece (Athens, Greece), Berlin Fashion Week, Vogue, Playboy, Schön! Magazine, TUSH, & more.

Joanna is neurodivergent, speaks 3.5 languages & collects vibrators and vintage barbies.
