She is now collaborating with important Greek artists as their curator, as well as their consultant in matters concerning the market and the promotion of their work. At the same time, she retains and cultivates her special relations with the Visual Arts international scene, focusing on the prevailing trends in the art market.<\/p>\n

Having as her personal vision not only the development of the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery, but that of Contemporary Greek Art as well, she took in 2017 the initiative to publish the first Greek Graffiti and Street Art History, followed by a joint exhibition of works by the most significant Greek street artists.<\/p>\n

Observing the increasing importance of the internet in the Art Market, she introduced new options for the visitors of the new Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery site (www.ikastikos-kiklos.com), such as the Educational Programs for children, the Special Exhibitions, the Informative Blog, the new Art Club card e.t.c.<\/p>\n

She is always searching for new ways of serving art lovers, as well as art investors in order to satisfy their every need. She strongly believes in her partners and is an advocate of teamwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this fascinating world of the visual arts, I always feel like a student, collector and art dealer at the <\/em>same time. A visitor as well as a director. And this is such a unique feeling!\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”17039″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”thodoris”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”19793″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Thodoris Siantis” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”left-to-right”][vc_custom_heading text=”Art and Silk-Screen Printing Consultant, Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”left-to-right”][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_column_text]Thodoris Siantis, plays a crucial part as \u201cthe man behind the scenes\u201d of the gallery, supporting the whole project by overseeing the Silk-Screen Printing production: a unique genre of Greek Art which sprung and flourished through the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery. In his opinion, Silk-Screen Printing is the overture to a personal collection, offering to the wider public the opportunity to get acquainted with contemporary Greek artists.<\/p>\n

As a connoisseur and a meticulous expert, he calculates everything with the outmost accuracy, transferring the painting\u2019s images while retaining the value of the brush stroke, the movement of the artist\u2019s hand and the artwork\u2019s special atmosphere \u2013 always in collaboration with the artist himself. His position is one of huge responsibility. It demands great knowledge since nothing of the original work should be lost. If that was to happen, \u201cthe magic of the work of art would be lost\u201d<\/em>, as he puts it himself.<\/p>\n

Although he studied mathematics, his relationship with the Arts begun in a very young age. He first came in contact with the Art Market world while accompanying his father, Fanis, to the artists\u2019 workshops. This is where he trained his eye in catching every little detail, registering in his mind every single mannerism.<\/p>\n

He is in charge of the Silk-Screen Printings Department, working always side by side with the artists in order to secure their signature. He is also responsible for the gallery\u2019s digital presence, overlooking the digitalization of the artworks. Since the creation of the gallery\u2019s e-shop, he also manages the company\u2019s Shipping Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen everything is ready, the visual artist finally signs and numbers the Silk-Screen Printing. In that <\/em>moment I know a new work of art has been born, beginning its journey to reach you\u201d.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”fanis”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Fanis Siantis” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”left-to-right”][vc_custom_heading text=”Inspirer and founder, Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”left-to-right”][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_column_text]Fanis Siantis, Art Dealer and Collector, as well as owner of the gallery since 1980, founded the Ikastikos Kiklos along with Dinos Liberopoulos, his beloved friend and partner. He has always been a pioneer of Art Dealing, the creator of the Greek Silk-Screen Printing Market, as well as a curator of many successful exhibitions which introduced Contemporary Art to numerous homes and business spaces of the Athenian society.<\/p>\n

In 1996, Fanis Siantis moved the Ikastikos Kiklos to Harilaou Trikoupi St., at the famous 1.700 sq.m. gallery which was declared one of the thirty Athenian buildings of special architectural interest, by the Hellenic Institute of Architecture. It was then, that he organized one of the most historic joint
\nexhibitions of all times which marked the beginning of a new era for the Ikastikos Kiklos, presenting works by Mitaras, Fasianos, Sorogas, Tsoklis, Kokkinidis, Tetsis, Gaitis, Tsarouchis, Vasiliou and many more.<\/p>\n

Today, he is still an active art dealer, retaining an advisory position by the side of the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti new management which has been taken over by his two children, Vassiliki and Thodoris. He is a true companion in supporting the gallery\u2019s aspirations, always helping in the choice of new promising artists while promoting the work of his old collaborators with whom he once built the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt is my life. I turned my passion into my profession and I now live with my friends: painters and old <\/em>customers.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”20986″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
