Ourania’s work “Mutated Pets_The Genetic Evolution Has Begun...” is about an evolution in biogenetics through the arts and science fiction with a creation of a totally new species of life . Her complex biomorphic landscape in sculpture and in animation depict biomasses and alien creatures with a strong reference to teratogenicity and mutation that is expressed through a combination of “pop” and “baroque” touches.

Ourania Mourta lives and works in London. She is a post-graduate student at University of the Arts of London and a graduate of the Athens Academy of Fine Art, gaining a distinction.
