Evangelia Hamilton was brought up in Greece and trained as an architect there, working on the original 1976-1977 design of the building at 40 Leoforos Vasilisis Amalias, before moving to England to study town planning, and then did a ph.D at the London School of Economics. In the 2000s she returned to fine art, drawing from old masters in the National Gallery, and began printmaking early the next decade. In 2022 she was selected for the Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition, and following that in the New English Art Club, Hampstead Art Society, Royal Cambrian Academy (2024), and Royal Hibernian Academy (2024) along with many others.
Her artwork is focused on drawing and printmaking, using graphite, charcoal, and intaglio printing with steel, aluminium, copper, and zinc plates. It is drawn from real life and real places or heavily influenced by the Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Durer, and Rubens, and captures spaces (interior or exterior) and the people, life within, and interactions between.
