My name is Apostolos Gkantinas im originally from Greece but now I am a proud member of the Australian community . I love painting as it is my way to escape from the reality , by painting I express my feelings , I recall memories from places I visited , and each paint I create has a part of my soul .
I have never study arts , although I might do some studies in future .... I believe that creating art is something you carry since the day you are born.
The topics that I choose to paint varies ,I like to paint architecture themes ,I am fascinating with the Baroque style of Rome and Paris I love the gothic Temples and the perfect statues from previous centuries, something else that I love to create is flowers there is so much beauty with them that I can not avoid the temptation to paint them ,even if there is not much uniqueness on them.
My favourite medium to paint with is watercolour because it is challenging and does not forgive mistakes but it can allow some beautiful accidents , my second big love is the oil colours which I really enjoy to use .
