Pelagia Kyriazi was born in Athens. She received her MFA in painting and ceramics at the Athens School of Fine Arts. She went to New York on a Fulbright grant in 1993 to continue her research on painting techniques in the studio of painter Vassilis Lambrinos and in the artistic environment of the city. Along with painting and drawing she was involved in digital art and experimental printmaking. In her experimental works which were selected twice in competitions of the New York-based International Print Center she used the industrial material of sandpaper. She also studied digital photography with Peter Campus at NYU. Her active interest in digital means soon leads to a series of works which draw from her origin and combine the use of digital photography with animation video, music and poetry:  Dormant (1997), Final Domicile (1999) and Tyranny of Light (2002) with a poem of Cavafy, which she presented in solo exhibitions in Athens and New York. In 2009, on the occasion of her solo exhibition at the bookshop of MIET she issues a limited, handmade, letterpress edition of the art book VIA: which hosts her artistic quests. She has had solo shows in New York, at Tenri Cultural Institute, at the A.S Onassis Cultural Center, at the New York Public Library 96th Str., and in group shows notably at the Center of Book Arts and International Print Center NY. In 2013, in Athens, she presented painting of a twenty year period at the National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation (MIET; Eynardou Mansion). She participated in the Athens University History Museum exhibition on the Banner of the University created by Gyzis, and in exhibitions at the Fryssiras Museum and the Municipal Gallery of Rhodes. She also participated in the program of A.S.F.A “Digital Culture” and in the international music festival of Molyvos. She has published art-related texts and has given speeches at exhibitions and other cultural events. She is active in Athens and New York.
