Nikolas Antoniou was born in Larnaca, Cyprus, in 1988. He graduated from the University of Western Macedonia, Greece, in 2012.
I believe art exists in the space between the painting and the viewer.
It is the conversation we chose to have with what's in front of us.
For me, this conversation starts with a blank canvas. I never have a clear idea
of what I am going to create and where this conversation will lead me. However,
my goal is to find balance between the human figure which I admire,
and the abstract, expressionistic elements i love to create.
This creative process, the search of balance and therefore
meaning, represents for me the process of life.
Ideas, thoughts, accidents, trials and errors, everything stays visible, inviting the
viewer to take part in this conversation and eventually lead it.
