Konstantina Dimitra

Konstantina was born in Vancouver, B.C.
 
Her beginnings were a home rich with her family’s Greek culture  and the cool beauty and traditions of Anglo/Canadian culture outside of the home. This old culture married to a young culture began a fusion and synthesis of old and new that would be formative and constant.

Heritage, culture, tradition, rules, obedience, curiosity, perceptiveness, intuition, creativity, kindness, consideration and a clear, unswayed view define Konstantina. She was a chosen leader amongst her peers throughout her scholastic years. She had a voracious love of art, reading, writing, drama, debate and a defense of the defenseless and unchosen that became manifest in this strong but feminine person from a very young age.

The multicultural and tolerant envelope where she grew up would be incredibly formative to her passion for language and communication; instrumental in fomenting her dedication and belief in a genderless, ageless, classless, egalitarian, kind and tolerant world and society.

Symbolism speaks of many things in a pictorial lexicon that needs no translation. Art needs no translation. Religion breeds inclusion and exclusion and rules that are exempt from free thinking and so education and a constant quest for knowledge and travel to constantly learn must be tools to fundamental tolerance and respect for all human beings. These values and perceptions would permeate every single creation that are manifest in Konstantina in every word, action, space and object she creates to share with the world.
