A selection of recent work by artist Nikolas Antoniou (previously featured here). Born in Larnaca, Cyprus, Antoniou graduated from the University of Western Macedonia in 2012, where he worked closely with professors and artists Harris Kondosphyris and Manolis Polymeri. As an artist himself, Antoniou is drawn to the various forms and expressions of the human figure. His practice is also dedicated to finding new ways of capturing the depth and meaning of human existence:
“In my exploration, abstraction gradually took precedence, leading me to delve into the creation of abstract landscapes. This unexpected shift revealed to me a fundamental truth: amidst the chaos that surrounds us, I am driven by a relentless pursuit of balance and meaning. My recent forays into abstract landscapes have further solidified this realization. Through my art, I aspire to reconcile the disparate elements of existence, offering viewers a glimpse into the harmonious equilibrium I strive to achieve. Ultimately, my work serves as a reflection of this ongoing quest for balance and significance, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of life and find resonance within their own experiences.”
