Hara Piperidou is a Greek multidisciplinary visual artist, whose main means are painting, drawing and sculpture. Her visual art raises issues, which on the one hand, concern human relations and on the other, related to sociopolitical. She resorts to philosophical-political concepts (such as mechanisms of power, control, violence, pain, pleasure, sex, transgression) that explicitly or implicitly organize her works. The human body is the guiding thread of all her work, since all forms of exercise of power (identity, gender, language) are inscribed on it, but also because it is the locus, where the forces of resistance and re-subjectification are produced. She also, focuses on the correlation of space and body, image and sound, empty and complete, absence and presence; she embraces an expanded visual-acoustic vocabulary, which aims at inscribing events defined by the natural pulse, the flow of life, the escape lines from the visual forms of painting and the linear trajectories of speech.
Overall, she works for the general release of symbolic forces that concern our social body and aims to produce new forms of physicality and coexistence. In a poetic light, attempts to create images that activate the senses, as well as the mental function. She graduated with honors from the MFA  program of the Athens School of Fine Arts, where she mainly studied Theory, Art Criticism and Philosophy of Art (2009-2011) and with first-class honors (Oath Speech) from the School of Fine Arts (Department of Painting) of Aristotle University, where she studied painting and sculpture (2003-2008).
