Angeliki Stamatakou (b. 1986, Athens, Greece) is a Greek sculptor whose intuitive practice explores organic and subconscious forms. Her ceramic works evoke relics from imagined worlds, timeless objects that resemble fossils unearthed from an unknown ocean or fragments of an alternate reality.

​

Working instinctively, Stamatakou approaches each sculpture as a record of an emotional moment. As she explains:

​

"I get inspired by daily life, where I am, how I see things, and how I feel. Each form I create is like a little game I play with myself, opening and closing according to my mood, and through them I discover things about myself. I like to play with mystery in my work, with science fiction and otherworldliness, yet the differences between the pieces come from distinct feelings. I don't see them as one subject but rather as pages of a diary, with each sculpture marking a moment, and the common language that ties them all together is the subconscious."

​

Originally trained as a pharmacist, Stamatakou graduated with an MPharm from the University of Brighton in 2009 before pursuing Fine Arts studies at AKTO Art & Design College in Athens in 2013. Discovering clay in 2020 marked a turning point in her creative practice and the beginning of her sculptural journey.

​

Since launching her professional career in 2022, Stamatakou has established an international presence through exhibitions at the 59th Venice Biennale, Milan Design Week (2022, 2023), the Florence Biennale (2023), the LA Art Show (2024), Art Athina (2024), the Biennale of Contemporary Keramics BCK in Santorini (2024), and Bonhams' Greek Sale (2025). Invited to the XIV Florence Biennale by its International Selection Committee, she received the Lorenzo il Magnifico Award for Ceramic Art.

​

Her work was represented by Gallery Philia (2022, 2023) and The Blender Gallery in Greece and the United Kingdom (2024,2025).

​

In 2025, her sculpture Destiny was sold at Bonhams' Greek Sale in Paris, marking the first edition of the auction to include works by living artists.

​

Among her notable projects, Stamatakou was the featured artist in Anthony Daley's exhibition Irreality in London (2024), created her sculpture Odyssey live before an audience of more than 1,000 during a music event in Athens, and was selected as a Rising Star in the Homo Faber Guide (2023). She has also welcomed students from Michigan State University to her studio in 2023, 2024, and 2026, sharing her creative process, professional experience, and engaging in individual discussions with each student.

​

Residencies have played an important role in expanding her practice. In 2025, she participated in Mona's Space Reimagined series, transforming Penthouse 16 into an immersive environment populated by ceramic creatures, objects, and sculptural interventions that dissolved the boundaries between art, design, and function. She worked at sculptor Marco Olivier's foundry in Cape Town in 2023, developing sculptural mirrors in resin, and established a workshop in Corfu in 2024, collaborating with specialists across disciplines to produce large-scale sculptures.

​

Alongside sculpture, Stamatakou works across design, fashion, jewellery, and interior curation. She has created sculptural accessories for the fashion label 2+1equals2, launched her first jewellery collection, collaborated with Casamia showroom in Dubai on site-specific ceramic installations, and in 2026 undertook her largest interior curation project to date, curating the interiors of a 1905 residence by bringing together vintage furniture, collectible design, and contemporary art.
