Constantine Angelou was born in Athens in 1973.
He studied painting, sculpture and digital technology at the Athens School of Fine Arts. He also specializes in industrial design, which is critical for his artwork. In 2003, he received honorable mention from the Greek State Scholarships Foundation.

Starting in 2006 he begins to write articles, give lectures and participate in round table discussions on topics concerning the relationship between artistic work and social reality and on the possibilities and conditions for free artistic expression in the contemporary age.

That same year, he founded the Independent Artists Network which is a virtual artist’s community exhibiting in Greece and abroad (Syria, Italy, etc…) as well as a cultural network called ARTOOTH. In 2007, along with his associate Poly Kasda, he organized a telecommunication art project called “Miorita, Melusina and the Sphinx” to be showcased in Greece, Luxemburg and Romania simultaneously, for the European Capital of Culture.

The artist is involved in areas such as structure design, dark room installations, digital installations, painting and sculpture. Areas of his main artistic interests are perception, complex models and the elemental representation of thought.
