Antinea Boletsi
Antinea Boletsi was born in Athens in 1983.
Antinea’s talent for painting showed at a very young age. From 2002 to 2006 she studied Painting, Drawing, Art History and Photography and holds a Bachelor degree of Fine Arts from the University of Hartford (Hartford Art School, CT) USA, with the highest distinction Summa Cum Laude.
In January 2006 she took part in her first group exhibition entitled “Goldfarb” in “Joseloff gallery” and in May her artwork was part of the Thesis Exhibition at the “Silpe” gallery, at the University of Hartford. From 2008 to 2009 she furthered her studies in Painting and Sculpture at the Academie de la Croix Niver in Paris, France.
She has taken part in various exhibitions in Greece and abroad, such as the following: In December-January 2016-17, a solo exhibition, curated by Maria Migadi at the “C. John gallery” in London; in 2018 at the exhibition “Summer Exhibition – Celebrating 250 years Royal Academy of Arts” at “Royal Academy of Arts” in London; and in 2020 at the group exhibition “Ta Panta Rei”, at the Tsichrintzis Visual Arts Foundation, Kifissia, Athens. During the difficult time of the pandemic, Antinea’s artwork does not stop travelling. In 2021 the artist adapts to the new conditions and communicates her art through online exhibitions, such as the exhibitions “Seasons” and “50 Shades of Red” in “King House Gallery”, United Kingdom.
Articles have been written about her and her work on the “Artist Lounge magazine” (issue 01) and on the “Artist Talk magazine” about “Art in isolation” (copy 15), while her works are currently exhibited at London Art Biennale.
Antinea does not belong to just one place. She is a citizen of the world. She paints, travels, meets new people, and always looks for inspiration. That is why she is often in Greece and Great Britain.
The natural landscapes and their beauty amaze her. She is also fascinated by the beauty of people, animals, and everyday objects and that is why you can find them in her works. She paints with a mature mood but maintains, at the same time, her fresh enthusiasm.
