Maritsa Kissamitaki is a Barcelona-based artist whose cross-cultural roots—raised in Greece with British heritage—infuse her luminous work with a universal aesthetic of connection, stillness, and reflection. With a professional background in international design and technological innovation, Maritsa merges technical expertise and artistic exploration to harness light itself as her medium.

Her signature biomorphic light sculptures are centered on the mesmerizing geometry of spirals—forms she has long carried within her practice and recently re-embraced as a defining element of her identity. Drawing on natural patterns and traditional craft techniques, she transforms LED technology into ethereal, cocoon-like structures that glow softly, evoking flowers, seahorses, dragons, or other living entities. These sculptures create timeless havens for meditation, countering the pace of our digitally saturated world by inviting presence, touch, and quiet contemplation.

After years working in screen-bound media, Maritsa felt compelled to reconnect with the tactile and the real. Her return to hands-on creation reflects a broader belief that even as we embrace virtual innovation, we yearn for art that speaks to something timeless within us.

Looking ahead, Maritsa plans to expand her practice into new materials and incorporate color into her meditative forms. Through her spiraling lights, she continues to offer audiences moments of serenity, wonder, and deep human connection—illuminating a path toward inner stillness in today’s fast-moving world.
