Rania Rangou’s work combines painting with the experience of new media in an experimental hybrid space. Freed from traditional constraints, she explores issues of identity, memory and the collective experience of modern man, shaped through mythology, history, but also his contact with the media and fiction. Her works have a multi-layered reading, focusing on the palimpsest of cultures, experiences and memory (both real and fabricated) and on the recomposition of reality in new forms. She herself characterizes her working practice as abstract realism.

Born in Athens, Greece in 1970, Rania Rangou has studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1989-1994) and at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid, Spain (1994-1995), Video Art and Music & Sound Techniques at New School and School of Visual Arts in New York, U.S.A (1998-99). She has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Turkey, Germany. Her works are to be found in private and public collections, including the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, Rethimnon Centre of Contemporary Art, Foundation of Thracian Art, Museum Vorre, DESTE Dakis Ioannou, Felios, Beltsios, Emfietzoglou, Evgenides, Kopelouzos collections, Fryssiras museum, Cultural Heritage Foundation of Corfu.
