Meet Antonia

Antonia Katifeli is a Greek self-taught artist born and raised in Athens.

 

Through her work she approaches themes of virtue, freedom and cultural diversity.

 

Her highest goal is to unveil the beauty of the mysterious world surrounding us.

 

 

Background

Antonia studied Journalism in the University of Athens where she graduated with First Class Honours. She then pursued a Master's degree in Arts, Business & Creativity at Newcastle University Business School graduating with a Merit and completed her academic education with an MBA from Alba Graduate Business School after being offered a scholarship.

 

Being an avid lifelong learner, she immersed herself in the creative arts for a number of years, namely Byzantine music, DJing, radio show production, interview conduction and article writing for digital platforms in Greece and the UK as well as a three-year practice of Flamenco that she continues to this day in the Spanish Dance Society which led to two dance shows in Athens.

 

Having started from a very young age, painting was Antonia's first and most enduring creative passion, the only one for which her enthusiasm has remained boundless. With a constant fascination for South Asian & Oriental traditions and a continuous self-directed practice, she began a series of artworks in 2020, reflecting her personal aesthetic.

 

What Inspires The Artwork

Antonia's sources of inspiration come mostly from the East, the Silk Roads, Bollywood, palm trees and animals.

 

Courage and integrity are values she is inspired by and deeply influence her artwork.

 

Antonia's vision is to create artworks that uplift, embellish and ultimately speak to the soul.

Life is a work of art
