ARTIST'S STATEMENT "Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My creative work includes painting and photography. I believe that insights in art are supported by cross-disciplinary practice and I find that my work in one discipline will influence my work in another. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. Inspirations and ideas change. Knowledge changes. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I come from and what I have learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I'm going."
Founded in October 2018 by artist and interior designer Antigoni Pagona, “Andie Art” has blossomed into a beacon of art and creativity, situated in a 2-floor contemporary Art Space in the heart of Athens' business center, few meters away from the Athens' Tower. At the core of this amazing, fast growing and vibrant area lies a space that emerges as a multidimensional destination, hosting Antigoni’s atelier, where she welcomes visitors to immerse themselves in her art, and also presents curated group exhibitions from a wide spectrum of art genres and styles, workshops, and various cultural events. A beautiful collection of unique and original artefacts are displayed at the ground floor's art shop, bringing together a rich tapestry of artistic production. With a diverse team of artists, curators and art professionals, “Andie Art” celebrates creativity while also supporting meaningful causes. She collaborates with organizations and foundations that promote solidarity, organizing exhibitions and events dedicated to missions such as the fight against violence towards women, breast cancer awareness, and others. This fusion creates a space that transcends its mere role as an art venue, embodying the essence of social responsibility. “Andie Art” evolves into a true cultural hub, where spirits, ideas and talent gather together, radiating Antigoni’s vision and passion for artistic expression and community.
