KONSTANTINOS K A P E L O N I S

530 West 25th Street, New York, NY

A Cretan-born artist who has called New York City home for over five decades, Konstantinos Kapelonis intricately weaves together the rich motifs of Minoan art, Abstraction, and Cubism, infusing everyday objects with a unique perspective. Each stroke on his canvas narrates a life’s journey—from the majestic Greek mountains to the vibrant tapestry of experiences found in America. In his bustling New York City studio, he constantly explores diverse styles, resulting in an impressive portfolio boasting over 1,100 distinct works.

His creations serve as a visual chronicle, seamlessly merging ancient influences with the pulsating energy of the contemporary world—a vibrant celebration of life through art.

Combining diverse expressions encompassing modernism, cubism, realism, and formalism, Kapelonis draws inspiration from mundane objects, everyday encounters, and the media. Through his brush, he paints a canvas that reflects a life rich in stories—a childhood in a quaint Greek village, globe-trotting on a boat, immigration to the New York City, entrepreneurial ventures in the restaurant business, the daily rhythm of family life, and the exploration of the city that never sleeps.

I make abstract paintings that awaken people’s senses, nourishing their souls, and saturating their lives with color and joy. I spend a lot of time carefully selecting and preparing my palette to stimulate powerful emotional responses.

Tactility is an important aspect of my work, which I activate by experimenting with a plethora of mediums and textures, including airbrush, pencils, acrylic paint, spray paint, and natural objects. For me, art is a spontaneous emotional outpouring that flows boundlessly without restraint. It allows me to embrace infinite expression and unconditional freedom.
