Constantine Andreou

Constantine Andreou (Greek Κωνσταντίνος Ανδρέου; Portuguese: Constantine Andreou) is a Greek artist and sculptor of Brazilian origin who had a very successful career for six decades. Many have praised Andreou as an outstanding figure in international art in the 20th century.

Constantin Andreou fought in the Greek army during World War II and joined the armed resistance after the occupation of Greece. After the war ended, Andreou received a scholarship from the French government in 1945 and moved to Paris. There, in 1947, he developed an innovative artistic technique in which he welded brass plates together for the first time. This technique allowed him to find new forms of expression in sculpture and made him an innovator of his time.

During his time in Paris, the artist worked for a time with Le Corbusier. Andreou's works were exhibited alongside those of famous artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Max Ernst, which testifies to his outstanding artistic achievements.
