C-Collection is always looking to invest in remarkable and talented artists. The foundation's objective is to foster and promote creativity - regardless of religion or nationality. Subscriber users can participate in and influence purchasing decisions through an online vote to determine which of the most popular works submitted should be included in the collection. This is why we and the artists are always interested in your feedback.

Based on these facts, C-Collection is introducing a current absorbing work by Petros Chrisostomou. His expression is multi faceted and inspired by his perception of reality through mediated modes of communication. The exceptional English artist is interested in simulacra and makes large free-standing sculptures that physically exist in the real world as well as fabricated miniature constructs that he photographs to assume an alternate reality. These mirror the physical works that he makes to form a circulatory dialogue between fact and fiction.

ABOUT ARTIST

communication. He is interested in simulacra and makes large free standing sculptures that physically exist in the real world as well as fabricated miniature constructs (or still lives) that he photographs to assume an alternate reality; these mirror the physical works that he makes to form a circulatory dialogue between fact and fiction.
