Born in 1981 in Greece, raised in Paris, living a few years in New York, Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos now lives and works between Paris and Cairo, Egypt. After graduating from ESSEC, a leading French business school, she broke her career path to dedicate herself to art as an existential need to question her identity.
Esmeralda Kosmatopoulos is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist working around language and identity. Her work investigates the definition and construction of identities, personal memories, culture and collective histories in the post-Internet age. She places herself as a translator, building connections between past and present, physical and virtual and ultimately between one and another.
