Kostadinos

Artworks by Kostadinos are one-of-a-kind mastery of nature's messages, a life within a life, waiting to be heard - "one need only to listen".

​

Born in the small village of Molais, Greece, Kostadinos was a vivacious adventurous soul that lit up every room he entered. At age 14 his family left their Greek village of donkeys and moved to Canada where he thrived discovering a whole new exciting world. After graduating from dental school in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Kostadinos moved to Sidney by the Sea in British Columbia. Soon his soaring reputation in 'whole health dentistry' grew into an 18 month waiting list with patients arriving from 17 countries around the world seeking his help.

Each piece of driftwood was gathered by the artist from the beautiful shores of British Columbia, Canada, honed, dried and stored while the artist 'listened' to and discovered the wood guiding him.

​

Kostadinos' workshop exuded with prolific imagination, often working on several sculptures at the same time. Influenced by his Greek Mythological heritage, playful nature and his soul as a healer, Kostadinos felt a treasured role of caring for the fallen wood that drifted upon the oceans arriving on our shores. He could often be found bursting into songs with his beloved Greek music playing in the background while creating captivating sculptures that seem to come alive in his hands.
