Hey guess what! Greek artist Konstantinos Zaponidis is exhibiting for the first time
in Iceland, with an exhibition conveniently inspired by the magical colours of good
ol’ Icelandic nature. Since studying Byzantine art, fine arts and working in Boston
as a graphic artist, Konstantinos has staged displays of his artwork all over the
place (for instance in Greece, France, the U.S., Canada, England and Germany)—
and now he’s here.
The experience and awareness that Konstantinos Zaponidis reportedly acquired
studying art in several countries should make his exhibition, entitled ‘The Impres-
sion of Iceland’, worth seeing.
