There are moments in an artist’s career that serve as confirmation that creativity can indeed transcend borders. For Stella Papa, one such moment comes this year in London, where the Cypriot visual artist is participating in the “Women in Art Biennale London 2026,” serving as the sole representative from both Cyprus and Greece at this major international event.
This distinction carries even greater significance, as it is the first time a Cypriot visual artist has been selected for this particular Biennale. Among hundreds of artists, Stella Papa managed to stand out with a visual identity rooted in emotion, vibrant colors, geometric shapes, and faces that seem to tell stories without needing words.
On the occasion of this significant international recognition, Stella Papa speaks exclusively to HELLO! about the moment she learned she had been selected, the story behind her work, the fascination she feels for human faces, her unique professional routine in the field of finance, and her big dream of seeing her art travel even further afield.
