Zacharias Papantoniou (1978) was born in Athens. He studied Painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts. He continued his studies with a Fulbright Scholarship at Massart in Boston, from where he received his MFA degree. He has had three solo shows in Athens and participated in several group exhibitions mainly in Greece. His work moves fluidly between abstraction and representation, coalescing into a personal visual language. Memory and imagination function not only as sources, but as mediums of communication that shape and guide each image. Through an equally strong formal exploration his work aspires to retrieve and redefine its own meaning. It is a process that relies heavily on spontaneous gesture and intuition as well as on precise drawing and reflection. He lives and works in Athens.
