From the tender architecture of ballet to the boldness of public advocacy, Stefanos Dimoulas moves through the world as both artist and activist. Known for his powerful portrayal of Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis in the award-winning documentary Manos Hadjidakis: Idol in the Mirror, and for his striking appearance on the cover of Attitude magazine alongside his father during Pride 2019, Dimoulas embodies a kind of modern mythology — rooted in Greece, shaped in London, and resonating across borders.
Trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, his neoclassical technique is refined and disciplined, yet his expression reaches far beyond tradition. On stage and in front of the lens, he uses movement to unravel inherited narratives and create new ones — ones that embrace queerness, migration, memory, and the evolving body.
In this exclusive conversation, Stefanos shares how he honors legacy through performance, reshapes classical form with personal truth, and choreographs emotion, history, and identity into a language all his own.

Gretchen Andrew’s Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty
In Gretchen Andrew’s new series of Facetune Portraits, custom robotics scribe the popular AI-driven beauty filters of social media into oil paintings derived from images of quintessential beauty. Normally, on TikTok and via Zoom’s “touch up” feature, these visual modifications occur seamlessly and invisibly. By making this process visible, Facetune Portraits reveals the messy co-existence we have with our digital selves.
Made up of a potential 100 Contestants from 100 different countries, Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty looks at the homogenizing impact of this monocultural, single AI beauty standard across the faces and bodies of famously beautiful women from around the world. As this same algorithm sculpts the female form into a single, universal look, we see diversity disappear. While unaltered human faces coexist with the algorithmically ‘perfected’ versions, a double portrait is created – a visualization of reality meeting desire. The result is a full-body portrait of tension, where each brush stroke, each smudge, each painterly contradiction is a record of disagreement between how our faces and bodies actually look and how AI says we should be.
These works outwardly portray the absurd, and too-real scars of the hidden ‘perfections’ that lurk behind so many of the images we experience – revealing our desire not just to be beautiful, but to be like everyone else, accepted as much by the algorithms as by our peers.
