Niovi Kafantari
Statement
I draw, I paint, I sculpt—each line, each gesture a testament to my faith. I believe in the eternal. Art is not a freeze-frame; it is a flowing river, a cycle that turns like the wheel of fate. I invest in the tangible, for it anchors me to the here and now. I seek out flaws, finding allure in the unfinished.
Concepts are my anathema; the senses are my sanctuary. Pathos is my rhetorical persuasion. Eroticism births existence. Myth unveils the world's secrets. Humor makes life bearable.
