Interview with CONSTANTINE LIANOS:

Your childhood ambition:

To be something like a vet and to have a farm and a horse.

Something you treasure:

The search of aspects of life that give me a reason to ignore vanity.

Your worst habit:

Playing online chess and making hasty moves.

The aspect of your work that’s most important to you:

Directing the themes and the forms of my paintings entirely from my imagination I guess…

Your first job:

Tattooing.

Someone whose work you highly recommend:

This last question is the most difficult, there are a lot of artists, directors, writers and even common people that I appreciate their work, the way that they perceive things and how they express themselves…but ok, one of those people that his work moved me from the first time I saw it some years ago, is Adrian Ghenie (random choice).
