Eleni Bagaki (b. 1979, Crete) is a visual artist based in Athens working across painting, text, photography, and installation. Informed by feminist theory and autofiction, her practice explores the space between autobiography and fiction, examining how personal narratives intersect with broader social and political realities. Her work asks how art can unravel and reimagine the dominant cultural narratives that shape female identity, desire, and belonging.
Often beginning with lived experiences—such as love, loss, rupture, or longing—Bagaki treats these moments as raw material rather than subjects to document. Through processes of fragmentation and reconstruction, she transforms them into new narratives, using art as a way to reorganize memory and continually rewrite biography. Moving fluidly between media, she combines humor and fiction to construct intimate visual and linguistic worlds centered on female subjectivity, sexuality, and gender representation.
