BIOGRAPHY

Lilia Ziamou is a Greek and American sculptor based in New York City. Her work begins with bone: through classical sculptural techniques and technological processes, she reconfigures bone into body, wound, and flesh. Her practice engages the human desire to intervene in the body, to repair, redesign, and optimize it, while considering how the body transforms and yet endures. Ziamou came to art through research into innovative technologies and their integration to every day life. That inquiry persists in her practice, where technology operates as both a tool and a way of seeing, allowing her to imagine the body from within. Her work draws on the enduring resonance of the fractured bodies of ancient Greek sculpture, where partial figures still convey the presence of the whole.

Recent exhibitions include The Museum at FIT (New York, NY, 2026), WhiteBox Portable (New York, NY, 2026), House of Lucie – Lucie Foundation (Athens, Greece, 2025), Brâncuși Gallery, Romanian Cultural Institute (New York, NY, 2025), Contemporary Textile Art Biennial (Guimarães, Portugal, 2024), The American University of Paris (Paris, France, 2024), NIKA Project Space (Dubai, UAE, 2023), WhiteBox (New York, NY, 2022), and Museo La Tertulia (Cali, Colombia, 2022). Recent writing on her work includes scholarly essays in the International Journal of Surrealism, where her sculpture also appears on the cover, and in Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice (both Fall 2025). Her feature on The Bone as (Bandage) Dress is included in The Museum at FIT’s Art X Fashion audio tour on Bloomberg Connects. Ziamou was a Fulbright / Stavros Niarchos Foundation Fellow and an artist in residence at the Sigg Foundation and the Museum of Arts and Design. She received her Master’s from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
