ABOUT THE ARTIST
Stavros Konidaris (b. Greece) is an Athens based designer. Working mostly with bronze and silver, he get inspired by everyday things that carry symbolism or have a simple story to tell. Stavros chooses a minimal path as a means to escape today's overload of information. For eight years he worked as a craftsman on sculptures designed by Christoforos Sklavenitis. The experience he gained offered him not only technical skills but also the chance to study the aesthetics of this great artist and be motivated to create his own artworks. As a designer, what intrigues Stavros most is experimenting with new mediums and techniques. Staying creative is his way of communicating. Stavros currently holds collaborations with the Acropolis Museum and his work can be found in many private collections.
