Friday, October 4, 2024 – The community of the initiative Ink On Paper, which highlights visual artists whose primary media of expression are ink and paper, announces the participation of George Afentakis.

George Afentakis was born in Athens in 1980. He studied Printmaking and Graphic Design and completed a postgraduate program in Industrial Design in Austria with a scholarship. He lives and works in Athens as a Graphic Designer and Visual Communication Designer. At the same time, he continues his artistic work and ongoing research in the vast world of phenomena.

In his artistic statement, he emphasizes about his work: “No visual artwork can be consistent and authentic without the demanding process of acquiring knowledge of its various materials and particular techniques. This principle can easily be applied to the field of Visual Communication Design as well, since it is directly and vitally linked with the Technology of Graphic Arts and its rapid development from the second half of the 20th century to the present day. George Afentakis works and creates with a constant concern for achieving the most impeccable aesthetic result possible, in harmonious combination with its practical and functional value. In collaboration with the client—whether it involves a painting or decorative object, branding and graphic design, or consulting on matters of applied aesthetics, such as the combination of cool and warm tones in the construction of a theatrical set—he always strives for well-structured communication with each individual or business and their specific needs, offering a range of comprehensive design proposals and solutions. The motto that underpins the Creator’s life and makes it an extension of his Art—and naturally, vice versa—and the core principle of his work is “Less is more”…“
