Costas Antonellos
Antonellos was born in Cephalonia in 1934 and moved to Athens in the same year.Primary School - St. Eleftherios, Areos.
Gymnasium - Lyceum - Ambelokipi.
Studied art under T. Drosos and C.Christides, two artists with enormous intellectual and artistic merit, both disciples of the Munich School. He learnt to paint in the traditional way, with brush and canvas and will always stay with this. The light and colour of Greece and Cyprus and their disappearing world, are important sources of his inspiration. In 1958 he attempted to enter the Athens School of Fine Arts under Moralis, but for health reasons he went to Sweden instead. On returning to Athens he had some exhibitions and then left for Johannesburg, South Africa. There he studied at the Art School but left without graduating because they could not teach him more than he already knew. After many exhibitions in S. Africa and Rhodesia he returned to Greece where he continued to exhibit his work. Exhibitions
