Voula Masoura was born in Chalkida in 1936.
She studied graphic arts and painting in Krefeld, Germany, under G. Muche and J. Mitscherlich, key representatives of the Bauhaus movement, and in Salzburg, Austria, under H. Trökes (1959-1964). From 1978, she studied the Tapestry (Tapisserie) technique in Paris.
From 1960 to 1964, she worked in Athens as a graphic designer and illustrator for advertising agencies, newspapers, and magazines.
From 1964 onwards, she dedicated herself to painting and construction-assemblages, using materials such as threads, twines, resins, and others. Choosing mainly plant fibers and acrylics, she created works that interact with space (1980-1990). Subsequently, she was inspired to create the “Banners” (Lavara) series, utilizing tar paper as her primary material (1990-1996). Since 1997, she began her series of works “Decay-Memories” (Fthora-Mnimi) and “Undoing Oblivion” (Lithis Anairesi), through which she deals with concepts such as time, memory, oblivion, loss, and decay.
Her creations have been presented in solo exhibitions (Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, Lamia, Nafplio, Rhodes, Nicosia, Faenza) and in group exhibitions (Athens – Panhellenic Exhibitions 1963, 1965, 1987; Chicago; Salzburg Academy of Arts 1972; Paris – Salon d’Automne 1975). In 2015, a solo exhibition of her work was held at the Teloglion Foundation.
She was awarded the honorary prize of the city of Salzburg (1972), was distinguished out of competition at the Alexandria Biennale (1982), and her work won the bronze medal at the International Triennial of Tapestry in Łódź, Poland (1995).
