It invites reflection on our origins, our condition and that of our world. Titos is a committed artist who shakes up pre-established codes. From the interaction between Man and Nature emerges a feeling of harmony possible in today's world... Born in Athens in 1980, French-Greek, Titos Kontou lives and works in Toulouse (France). Titos Kontou - Naissances - Oil on Canvas - (29) - 70x50cm - 2015 The canvas is mounted on a stretcher. With Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
