Panagiotis Protopsaltis and
Sarah Ponton
Panagiotis and Sarah are married and collaborate in life and art.
Panagiotis has been drawing and painting most of his life and this web site features a collection of oils and ink drawings begun in the late 1980s - many of which are in the artist collection.
Panagiotis was born in Greece and grew up in a small village called Vilia at the foot of Mount Cithaeron. His early influences come directly from the village. (See Early History attachment below). He went to London for six years as a young man returning to Greece thereafter to complete his military service. In the early 1970s he moved to Australia and continued his art practice - mainly ink works while living on his yacht (a Joshua Slocum Spray which he built from the hull up). He started painting portraits of family and friends around 2003.
Sarah is the face behind the scenes photographing work, producing graphic images, drawing, cataloging and interpreting his work. Sarah has a bachelor degree majoring in Fine Art from the Australian National University and has worked and lived with Panagiotis producing art for the last two decades. They live in Sydney, Australia.
