Anton

Biography

Anton lives and works in Paris.

He was born in Athens in 1948 and arrived in France at the age of 17. He studied architecture at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris and began to take an interest in photography at that time. His first images were of landscape and architecture, he also used drawing and sculpture as modes of expression. Anton’s multidisciplinary work is marked by his relationship to construction, material and line.

Painting, photography, sculpture and design… Anton moves from one medium to another with remarkable ease. In parallel to his photography and painting exhibitions, he cobbles together a subtle alliance of sculptures and everyday objects. With the design group AHA, he creates the famous “meter lamp”.
