ABOUT KIKI COUNDUROS

I am Kiki Counduros, artistic name Conti,

a Berlin-based Argentinian-Greek artist.


I create intuitive, unique, hand-painted compositions across a broad range of media, with a specialty in luxurious silk. After many years of music formation and studies, body expression courses, dance, ceramic, I discovered the world of silk art.

Silk painting... a mesmerising world! The cocoon produces metres of silk thread which later becomes flowing silk fabric. This material is then painted through a procedure, resembling a conversation without words. The colour gives it life and emotion. My compositions take the form of artworks, art objects and even wearable pieces of art.

I also create paintings with gold leaf, silver, iron & a plethora of interesting media. My abstract compositions are free-flowing and naturalistic, emitting natural positivity and a love for life. I think of them as visual celebrations of freedom.

My inspiration and motor is music. I express my deeper feelings with a freedom of movement which opens a channel of raw energy. Instead of improvising with music, I improvise with paint and art in different forms. Art always opens up new horizons and enables the evolution of the self, liberating the spirit free from all boundaries.
