Stavroula Adameitis is an Australian artist, designer and author obsessed with all things kitsch. Her work sits gleefully at the intersection of popular culture, nostalgia, maximalism and futures-thinking. It all traces back to her 1980s childhood glued to the telly at her Yiayia's house: the obsession never wore off.

Since starting her art practice Frida Las Vegas in 2013, Stavroula has created an interactive installation for the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, exhibited textiles and installation work at the Art Gallery of South Australia, and facilitated creative learning programs at the Sydney Opera House. Her graphic art has been commissioned by Adobe, Meta and Westpac, and she has designed prints for Katy Perry and Peter Alexander. But the commission that means the most is dressing a worldwide cult of glamazons who understand that more is always more.

Stavroula is the artistic director and co-founder of SA Futures Agency and recipient of the 2025 40 Under 40 Creative Thinker Award. She believes that looking backwards with enough colour and curiosity is the necessary first step in reimagining the present to create futures worth showing up for.

Her first book, Australianarama: A Campendium of Kitsch, will be published in September 2026 by Pink Shorts Press and distributed by Simon & Schuster.
