Konstantina Krikzoni's solo exhibition "ARMATURA" at L'Appartement in Geneva presents a new suite of paintings born from a period of intense solitude. The works explore painting as a medium for self-expression, using the metaphor of an armature—the metal framework that supports sculptures—to represent an inner structure of fortification, endurance, and survival. The paintings feature elusive female figures and landscapes rendered with delicate layers of pigment, evoking ancient myths and goddesses, with works like *Warrior I* (2025), *L.K. I Killed the Pink* (2025), and the titular *Armatura* (2025) conveying emotional rawness and psychological drama.
The exhibition matters because it marks a significant evolution in Krikzoni's practice, revealing a heightened sense of vulnerability and a poignant exploration of emotional and poetic aspects of existence. By connecting her technical experimentation with themes of mental resilience and the human instinct to endure, Krikzoni offers viewers a space to bring their own internal experiences to the work, reinforcing painting's capacity to articulate the formless inner world.
