Joy Stathopoulou

Lighting Artist

Joy Stathopoulou, the artist behind Reywal, was originally a lawyer, until she began to explore light from a different perspective. Her work explores the intersection of light and matter. Her artistic practice was introduced with Satori exhibition (2018), setting the foundation for light-based sculptural forms. This was followed by collaborations with galleries and cultural institutions, including the presentation of selected works at the Benaki Shop in 2021 (Before and After).


In 2023 she created “Pithos” for Branding Heritage, as part of the “Contemporary Minoans” collection that  was exhibited in 3D at the BH Digital Museum supported by FORTH and MoC.


Her practice expanded into large-scale installations with  “Making Waves”, presented in 2024 for HELMEPA at the Posidonia exhibition. 


Most recently, in 2025, her work “Lighting Echoes” received the Public Award at the JELO 6 Project in Cyprus.
