Elina Hadjinicola (b.1997) is a Cypriot artist based in Larnaca, working with a variety of sculptural practices.
Her work focuses on materiality and the stories that each element can best narrate. Through an examination of both human and non-human realms, she confronts spiritual, historical, environmental, and personal narratives. Hadjinicola's work ranges from abstracted ceramic character-like figures to beeswax entities and designs.
Elina has a BA degree in Fine Arts from Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom. Currently, she runs lessons and workshops in her Ceramics & Arts Studio 'High Fire' in Larnaca, Cyprus.
