ARTIST STATEMENT
"Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist.
​
My creative work includes painting and photography. I believe that insights in art are supported by cross-disciplinary practice and I find that my work in one discipline will influence my work in another.
​
My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. Inspirations and ideas change. Knowledge changes. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I come from and what I have learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I'm going."

ARTIST BIO
Antigoni Pagona (b. 1977) is a Greek artist currently living and working in Athens. In 1978, she moved with her parents to Monaco, where she completed her schooling and obtained the International Baccalaureate (IB) in Visual Arts and Languages.
In 1996, she attended Padworth College in Reading, U.K., where she studied Art and English for six months. She then pursued Hotel Management studies at Les Roches and Hotel Institute Montreux in Switzerland.
​
In 2002, Antigoni returned to Athens, where she worked in the shipping industry for twenty years. During this period, she also studied Art & Design at AKTO College, affiliated with Middlesex University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with Upper Second Class Honours in Interior Architecture and Design. She additionally attended street photography courses with the Luminus Photographers Team.
​
Antigoni Pagona has presented three solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Greece and internationally.
​
In October 2018, she founded AndieArt, a creative company offering services in painting and photography. Today, she owns Andie Art Gallery in Athens, and her artworks — including acrylic paintings and fine art photography — are held in private collections in Athens, Dubai, Switzerland, and Monaco.
