Antonis Kentonis
Antonis Kentonis is a transdisciplinary visual artist, art historian and collector, born and raised on the island of Cyprus. From a young age, Kentonis developed a deep fascination with history and culture, which fueled his passion for collecting objects that hold both material and narrative significance. This led him to establish the Kentoni Collection in collaboration with Gabriel Roberto Greer, making their research and the collected artefacts publicly accessible via a website. His research interests and inspiration for his creative work explore themes of historic trade, intersectionality, cultural erasure and cultural exchange. With focus on Byzantine, Islamic, and Japanese art. After his studies in Fine Art Painting from University of the Arts London, Camberwell, he is completing a master's in art history and Archeology at School of Oriental and African Studies.
