Myrianthi Constantinidou

The Constantinidis family tradition in iconography began in 1961 when George Constantinidis found himself in Athens. There, while studying at the Marasleio Academy, he attended painting and iconography lessons in the workshop of Sarafianos, where he met Nikolaos Prisnovali and Fotis Kontoglou. On Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain, he enriched his knowledge, before returning to Cyprus, where he became an Inspector of Art in elementary schools.
