Christos Pantieras was born in Ottawa, Canada in 1973. He has completed two degrees from the University of Ottawa (BFA Studio and BEd).
Pantieras' installation and mixed media works are created from the accumulation of invested acts of repetition as a means to regain traces of lost interaction. Elements of identity, memory, and nostalgia are incorporated in to his practice. Currently, his work explores the impact of digital technology upon romantic relationships by repurposing electronic communication between two individuals, and revealing the humanism lost from the courtship practices of online dating.
Pantieras has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Ontario and Quebec, including the Luminato Festival (Toronto) and The White Water Gallery (North Bay). Pantieras' work is represented in the collection of the City of Ottawa, and throughout several private collectors. Pantieras has received grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Ottawa.
