On Forbes “30 under 30” List
The name of the 26 year old painter of Greek origin, Nikolas Kontaxis, appears on Forbes “30 under 30” List.
Specifically, the young man is in 13th place on the list of the 30. During its presentation, Forbes states, “Born neurodivergent and with a brain tumor that has led to thousands of epileptic seizures, Nikolas Kontaxis communicates largely through painting.”
“His large scale, abstract works have led to sold-out exhibitions from Los Angeles to London and his pieces are found in the collections of Adele, Roger Federer and Adidas”, the outlet notes.
He is recognized for his large scale abstract paintings, characterized by a plethora of primary colors.
His artwork has been featured in a number of successful solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, London, Atlanta, Chicago, Sun Valley and Palm Springs. His latest solo exhibition entitled “Catch Me” debuted at the UTA Artist Space in June, 2022.
“The exquisite use of color and the sheer scale of Nikolas’ paintings blow my mind (…) I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him”, claimed UTA Fine Arts/Artist Space Creative Director, Arthur Lewis.
