Konstantina Daskalaki was born in Athens, Greece. After finishing high school, she went to England where she studies Greek Philology at Manchester University. These studies included lectures in History of Art, where she felt her passion for painting awaken.
Throughout her literally studies she took the opportunity to visit different countries, curious about different art cultures. At the same time she continued painting learning new techniques of representation, experimenting with form, connecting with other artists and attending painting exhibitions. Her passion urged her to study painting in greater depth, first at Manchester and then at the Cultural Centre of Athens. When she completed her studies in England she returned to Greece.
After these experiences, and contact with different ethno-artistic cultures, she decided to leave Greece to live in Florence, Italy, with the aim of enlarging her studies in the field of art. She enrolled at the Free Academy of Fine Arts in Florence (L.A.B.A.), where she studied painting.
Using the power of colours and sinuosity of form, she mixes caricature and the naïve style to express passion and perception, favouring at the same time a renewal of the figurative language.
