Bio
Antoniadis' work reveals the influence of the modernist movement in its organic forms and in the flow of beautiful feminine images. Textiles and ceramics are always present in overlapping layers. Among the most important prizes he won in 2016 the Grand Prize Acquisition of Painting, and the First Prize of Drawing, both in National Salon of Visual Arts. In 2018 he presented at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes the book Domus Ornamental, a journey through 30 years of artistic production.
Statement
Oil is, according to my perception, the medium that speaks most about painting and painters, about painting as a concept. I am looking for a scene, a situation dominated by the disturbing strangeness of unheimlich, that is "the immanence of the strange in the familiar". As Borges says in La muralla y los Libros (The Wall and the Books): "The imminence of a revelation, which does not occur, is, perhaps, the aesthetic fact".
