New Iraklia, Chalkidiki - Greece
Konstantinos-Pimba Botas - Fine Artist
Member Since: 12/22/2009
Biography of Pimba
I was born in Giannitsa (Northern Greece) in 1966.
I am a self-educated painter, woodcarver and a member of the Greek Plastic Arts Chamber since September 2002. My first exhibition was held in Giannitsa (ink drawings) at the age of 24. In total, I have shown paintings in two exhibitions held in Thessaloniki and wood sculptures and paintings, in three occasions, in Athens.
In Summer of 1988 I visited for the first time the island of Gavdos (Crete). There, I came across my nickname ĄPimba˘, which in the local dialect means Ącomplete˘. In The following years, I was sculpting ornaments out of cedar wood, selling them to the visitors of the island.
Since 2005, I paint with airbrush, first with ink on paper and later acrylics on canvas, drawing my themes (nude, landscape, nature) from my pictures. The last years I divert my time between the island of Gavdos (during Summertime) and New Iraklia in Chalkidiki (in winter), where my atelier is located.
