The Orthodox Observer’s Dr. Claire Koen sat down with Krissan Kontaxis, mother of the celebrated artist and Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, Nicholas Kontaxis, whose exhibit, “Catch Me,” is currently on display at the Basil and Elise Goulandris Museum in Athens. Nicholas has suffered from a seizure disorder from the age of 14 months Now 29, he continues to beat the odds in his work as a full-time artist. His work has been displayed in a number of solo shows from New York to London, and most recently in Greece, and his work can also be found among the private collections of Beth Rudin Dewoody, Denise Gardner, Eric Schmidt, Jeremy Zimmer, and Roger Federe, among others.
