The sculptor Kostas Pavlidelis was born in Athens, Greece in 1993 and he was raised in Vrilissia, in the suburbs of Athens. He studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts in Florina (University of Western Macedonia, Greece) by the tutelage of the sculpting professor Hector Papadakis and graduated in 2018.

In 2014, he started as an apprentice and later on as a sculptor in the marble sculpture workshop of Konstantinos Zafeiris (Anapafseos 98, Chalandri), which is specialized in the construction of elements in the Byzantine tradition (such as templon altars (iconostasis), episcopal thrones, pulpits, shrines) as well as portrait busts, sculptures, statues, monuments, relief etc. This partnership continues to this day.

Kostas Pavlidelis performs himself all the steps required for the construction of a sculpture. Initially, he is shaping the clay and creating a model of clay, on which the artistic value of the work is imprinted. Then, from this clay model, he reproduces the necessary plaster model and at the end, he sculpts the marble himself, “by the hand” into a marble work of art.

He is a lover of the rules of classical marble sculpting and respects the modern trends of sculpting art. He believes in the artistic value that accuracy to the fraction of a millimeter provides to a sculpture, creating that special note to his art that makes each marble sculpture unique. Because the marble art was created to “last for all eternity”.
