A VERY SPECIAL AWARD

“IΩANNA takes Lorenzo Il Magnifico Award for Australia / Greece in Florence, Italy

I had such a great experience in Florence, I can't wait to tell you about it. I took an award home so I am writing to you with some newsletter content that may be of interest!

"IΩANNA Honoured at the 2025 Florence Biennale with a Lorenzo Il Magnifico Award.

Melbourne-born sculptor IΩANNA (Ioanna Thymianidis) has been recognised internationally, receiving a Lorenzo Il Magnifico Award – Special Commendation for Sculpture at the 2025 Florence Biennale in Italy. Representing both Greece and Australia, IΩANNA was honoured among a global cohort of distinguished contemporary artists.

Exhibiting alongside renowned creatives including Tim Burton and Emily Young, IΩANNA presented her sculpture Thriving After Us, a work exploring speculative ecology, organic evolution, the interweaving of nature and technology." IΩANNA
