B i o g r a p h y “Streams of Paint and Radiant Light...The Artist Walking in Worlds Unseen where Living Flames Move into Silent Pictures... and the Light Have a Voice in the Silence ...” Ioannis Antoniadis was born in Thessalonica, a major city of Hellas (Greece) in February 1964. He experienced the hard educational system of his time, the Hellenic society deeply divided by the pain inflicted by two world wars, one civil and a dictatorship but also the supreme pleasure in bathing in the ancient light of his country. He arrived to London 2 years after his Army Service as an officer, in May 1990. There he complimented his quest in painting with studies relating to the quest of Spiritual Transformation. “…As I was trying to imitate Christian ideals, I became aware of a new Dimension in Art. Since then my work became something like a prayer providing a reflection of the struggle to lift one self above the sorrow and anguish of the World. It has been a continuous effort to try to portray this luminous world. In my mind I see a Heavenly Prism translating light to millions of possibilities, colours, ideas, feelings, and forms... revealing in my heart the nature of Grace...” “…As I work in these paintings it is revealed to me an ideal of a world of inner beauty, wisdom and truth. This has been my way to understand better my very own nature and accept myself as a Spiritual Being” Ioannis has a passion for the inspiring factor in the art... His work evokes ideas, moods and emotions through the harmony of imagery, colour and space. Within the intimacy of his work, there is an attempt to establish a connection between the Viewer, the Creative Spirit and the Mystery of Art. He has exhibited in UK and Greece his paintings, prints and drawings can be found in private and public collections all around the World. He currently manages the "Heavenly Path Art Gallery" and the "Glastonbury School of Art" in Glastonbury in UK where he lives with his family.
