AGRIEL NESS

Agriel Ness (b.1995) is a Latvian born, London-based visual artist working across photography, film, and writing.

Central to her practice is an exploration of feminine identity, grief, and the subconscious. By weaving personal experience with collective consciousness, and drawing on mythology and symbolism, Agriel crafts narratives that illuminate the human psyche and contemporary condition, while remaining in delicate dialogue with the histories that precede us. In her worlds - memory, history, and emotion are transformed into visual and written landscapes.

Positioning the body as a vessel, Agriel explores how personal and shared narratives are continually rewritten—particularly within the context of feminine experience, nature, and cyclical ways of being that persist across human history.

Agriel earned a First Class Honours degree in Photography from the University of the Arts London in 2017, and her work is held in the Emin Hitay Collection in Turkey. She is currently developing her first book, Sympatheia, shaped through residencies including ISSP in Latvia and a self-funded residency in Antalya, Turkey, alongside curating two solo exhibitions, The Great Sympatheia of the Feminine, presented in London, UK, and Latvia in 2025.
