ABOUT US

From Athens to the Heart of Kea

The Leonidas Kampanakis Arts Foundation was established in 2017, starting with a gallery in Athens. In 2023, the founder decided to relocate his vision to Ioulida, Kea, transforming the foundation into a vibrant hub of visual creation in the heart of the Cyclades.

Our Vision

At the core of our philosophy is the creation of opportunities. The Foundation serves as an open embrace, not only for established visual artists but for every passionate creator seeking a space for expression. With the art itself as our sole and non-negotiable criterion, our hall remains open to everyone.

A Sensory Experience

We believe that art is not limited to sight alone. It is the touch of the material, the movement of the creator, the scent of the paint. Our space is specially designed to highlight the three fundamental forms of visual expression:

• Painting: The power of color and composition.

• Sculpture: The art of volume and matter.

• Photography: Capturing light and the moment.

The Founder's Motto

"Everyone can paint! If you draw a single line on a blank piece of paper and that line expresses you, then you have painted. If that line happens to express someone else as well, then you have created art." — Leonidas Kampanakis
