Description

The Greek philosopher Pythagoras, father of philosophy and author of the term “philosophy" itself, traveled for 20 years through India, present-day Pakistan, Babylon, and Egypt, where he sought and studied mystical knowledge. This abstract portrait consists of symbols of these countries (especially India and Pakistan, as a reference to his stay and the influences he brought back from there). His fingers are depicted in an almost religious gesture, reminiscent of the blessing hands of Buddha or Jesus Christ. In Pythagoras' case, however, his fingers are actually counting – a reference to his belief and philosophical theory about the power of numbers. He believed that numbers are God – they define everything in the universe and contain all the answers.

Konstantinos Papaioannou, Pythagoras calculates the universe

Presentation

Konstantinos Papaioannou (born Athens, Greece) is a visual artist and poet who creates large-scale, compelling works that explore the nature of the psyche through ideas of immortality, duality, and timelessness.

Konstantinos holds a BA in German Studies with First Class Honors from the Faculty of Philosophy of the National University of Athens. He holds a postgraduate diploma in Cultural Management (Deutsche Akademie fuer Management, Berlin) as well as certificates in Art Writing and Criticism, Exhibition Design, Social Networking for Gallerists, Curatorial Practices (Node Center for Curatorial Studies, Berlin), Cultural Management and museology (Hellenic American Union, Department of Culture, Athens) and Art and Finance in the Global Market (Sotheby's Institute of Art).

He speaks Greek, German, Spanish, English, Turkish and Serbo-Croatian.

From 2014 to 2018, Konstantinos worked as a gallery assistant at Haute Collage Fine Art Gallery in Queensway, London. There he began exhibiting and selling his own artwork and developed his signature style – an intricate, hand-drawn, decorative pattern appearing in each of his paintings.

He participated in group exhibitions in Athens (Art Number 23 – October 2021, Greek-French Association – October 2022).

His first solo exhibition at Vassiliki Galerie d'Art (Nafplion, July 2023) is his real breakthrough in the world of art.

His second solo exhibition was held at St Nicholas Business Club & AHEPA Maritime Chapter HJ-45, in January 2024, Piraeus, Greece.

In October 2024, he will participate in a group exhibition of opera diva Maria Callas memorabilia and works inspired by her at the Kakogiannis Foundation, Athens, Greece.
