Achilles Kapsalis

Achilles Kapsalis (b.1982, Athens) is a self-taught artist and designer whose work spans biomechanical sculpture, conceptual photography, and digital fabrication. Originally known for his sculptural series Psyteks -hybrid forms made from real animal bones and metal- his early work explored speculative anatomy, alien aesthetics, and psychological tension.

 

He studied Computer Science at New York College in Athens and briefly pursued Business Management at Brunel University in London. Between 2011 and 2012, he exhibited at Candid Arts Trust, Debut Contemporary, Skoufa Gallery, and others in London and Athens.

 

Kapsalis returned to artistic practice during the COVID-19 lockdown through conceptual photography, which reignited his drive to create. That renewed momentum led him to explore 3D printing and digital design -shifting his focus toward functional, sculptural objects like lamps and vases that extend the fluid forms of his earlier biomechanical work. His current focus lies in creating affordable, functional artworks that blend technology with emotional form. Whether a lamp, a vase, or a box, each object is a vessel of light, of space, or of meaning.

 

“Art should live with you, not just near you. I create sculptural forms that hold light, flowers, or space—vessels made to be touched, used, and shared.”
