Bio

Constantina Papanagiotou Jones was born in Athens Greece, where she studied graphic design at the Vakalo art & design school. Her passion for fashion magazines and music, lead her into this field. WARNER MUSIC, SONY MUSIC S.A. and BMG ARIOLA S.A. gave her the freedom of design and art direction and lead to her relocating to the UK. Her work, is a compilation of the graphic design artworks produced by herself, which takes the viewer on a personal voyage that encompasses her experience in the field and demonstrates the fusion of illustration, photography and graphic design. Each artwork is a product in its own right and can be marketed as Printed artwork, Cards, Posters, Fabrics, Bags, Tee shirts and various industrial applications. Her love and admiration for faces, of all era’s, colours, age, and history, made her work on classic pieces of art in her way, which gives them a different and personal point. Artsy have her work represented in their portfolio. Her art is also featured in a number of international art catalogues and art guides. She is also the holder of a number of international awards. Many of her artworks are in the hands of private collectors.
Her target group is art lovers and dreamers.

At the center of Constantina Papanagiotou Jones' work is the face, the most immediate reference is surely Greek art and its perfectly balanced and sculpted faces, a beauty that led to the prevalence of the thought of being. In the case of classical art, this thinking led to an exaltation of reason and an exaggerated subjectivism that centered on the principle of identity, thinking of the other always from the self, considering it as an extension of the self, annihilating it in its difference. The self makes everything exist for him, in the direction of him. In this way, the self loses itself; in fact, not recognizing the other's difference, it does not even understand itself. But the new man will be reborn from the encounter with the face of the Other. The confrontation with the face that Papanagiotou Jones proposes forces man to rethink the foundations of his culture. We must move, from the principle of identity to the principle of otherness, from putting self as the first point of view, to putting the other. It is by understanding that who is in front of us depicted is a stranger that we can then understand our own subjectivity; it is we who look, but at the same time we are looked at and in this we see ourselves reflected. The artist's artworks perfectly render this idea of bouncing identities and consciousnesses, spirals that almost meet with their own reverberation and merge together, bringing seemingly irreconcilable opposites together.
