About the Artist
Born in 1998
Based in London
Konstantinos Argyroglou Argyropoulos (b. 1998, Athens) is a London-based artist whose practice centers on intimacy, care, and subjectivity through the lens of memory. Working primarily with painting, he revisits personal histories—particularly those shaped by growing up in a single-parent household—through layered compositions that blend autobiographical fragments with emotional resonance.
Often depicting a gender-fluid young figure within familiar domestic spaces, Konstantinos explores the tension between solitude and tenderness. His works construct dreamlike, emotionally charged environments where childhood memories and symbolic objects—such as a sleigh, a table, or a shower—serve as vessels of care, vulnerability, and inherited connection. These recurring motifs emerge as both personal archives and universal signifiers of belonging, grief, and love.
Blurring the lines between past and present, his brushwork employs translucent washes in oil and watercolour, building a visual language that feels simultaneously static and shifting. Each image becomes a condensed narrative—part diary, part invented reality—inhabited by a ghostly protagonist who navigates rituals of daily life and familial memory.
Konstantinos holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2022) and a BA in Fine Art Mixed Media from the University of Westminster. He is a recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2021).
