About Roula Partheniou's Art

Roula Partheniou was born in 1977 in Niagara Falls, Ontario. She studied art at the University of Guelph. She earned her degree in fine arts in 2001.

She is known for her special art displays called "installations." These installations often use simple shapes and everyday items. She makes things like Rubik's cubes, beach balls, books, tennis balls, and bottle caps look like art. Her art makes these common objects seem beautiful and new.
