Eleni Paridi is a visual artist and photographer based in Greece.
Her photography is an ongoing visual and conceptual investigation into the world of crystalline minerals. Her practice explores the idea of memory embedded in matter and the processes of change that unfold across geological time. Her work approaches crystals not merely as geological formations, but as both witnesses to and participants in Earth’s recurring rhythms.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in Greece, Italy, France, Spain, and the United States, including solo exhibitions in Athens, New York, and Paris. In 2025, she received the Special Commendation of the President at the XV Florence Biennale.
Her artistic perspective is informed by her background in graphic design, advertising, journalism, radio production, and music criticism, as well as studies in Business Administration and Psychology. Her interest in human consciousness led her to explore Psychodrama, Family Constellations, and Art Therapy, alongside a longstanding interest in holistic approaches to healing.
Paridi is the writer of “Socks”, her first allegorical feature screenplay, registered with the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW).
She lives and works between Athens and the Cycladic island of Syros, Greece.
