WHO WE ARE

From Eikastikos Kyklos to Sianti Gallery

• 01 What led to the transition from Eikastikos Kyklos to Sianti Gallery?

  The transition from Eikastikos Kyklos to Sianti Gallery was not a change of direction,
  but the natural continuation of a journey that already spanned more than four
  decades in the art world.

  With respect for the history that began in 1982 and for everything built over the years
  our relationships with artists, the trust of collectors and our constant connection with
  the public , we wanted to preserve this valuable legacy while giving it renewed
  momentum.

  The creation of Sianti Gallery in 2016 expressed precisely this need: to continue the
  same journey through a contemporary gallery, open to new ideas, new artists and
  new ways of engaging with the public.

  For us, therefore, Sianti Gallery did not replace Eikastikos Kyklos. It represents the
  evolution and continuation of its story.

• 02 Did the organizational structure change with the creation of Sianti Gallery?

  In essence, no. Sianti Gallery remains a family endeavor, just as Eikastikos Kyklos
  was from the beginning, united by a shared love of art.

  With the creation of Sianti Gallery, the new generation of the Siantis family took the
  lead and assumed a more active role in shaping the next chapter. Today, Vassiliki
  and Theodoros Siantis continue the journey begun by Fanis Siantis, developing it
  through their own perspective and in response to the demands of the contemporary
  era.

  The founder of Eikastikos Kyklos remains an invaluable point of reference, passing
  on the experience and knowledge gained over an entire career. In this way, two
  generations come together in a shared continuity: the experience of the past
  becomes the foundation for the next chapter.

• 03 In which areas has Sianti Gallery expanded its activities?

  With the creation of Sianti Gallery, our activities expanded significantly, both in the
  presentation of contemporary art and in the ways we engage with the public.

  Alongside organizing and curating exhibitions and collaborating with established and
  emerging artists, we developed a range of initiatives aimed at bringing art closer to
  people of different ages and interests.

  Through the Blog, Art Talks and Video Art News, we follow developments in the art
  world in Greece and internationally, creating content that makes art more immediate
  and accessible to a wider audience. At the same time, guided tours of major
  exhibitions and museums, as well as studio visits and interviews with artists, allow us
  to meet the people behind the works and share their ideas, stories and creative
  processes with the public. Over time, these initiatives have also created a valuable
  archive of people, artworks and stories.

  Educational programs for children also hold a special place in our activities, through
  which we seek to cultivate observation, imagination and an open, uninhibited relationship with creativity from an early age.

  For us, Sianti Gallery is not simply a space where art is presented. It is a place of
  encounter, knowledge and communication, continually creating new opportunities forengagement and meaningful dialogue with art.

• 04 What is the role of Eikastikos Kyklos Sianti today, and how does its presence continue?

  Today, Eikastikos Kyklos Sianti does not operate as a separate activity. Its journey
  has evolved and continues through Sianti Gallery, which is the natural continuation of the story that began in 1982.

  The experience, the relationships built with artists and collectors, and the knowledge
  accumulated over more than four decades form the foundation on which Sianti
  Gallery continues to grow today.

  In this way, Eikastikos Kyklos remains present not as a separate entity, but as an
  integral part of our identity and history. Sianti Gallery carries this journey forward,
  developing and broadening it through a contemporary approach to art and to its
  relationship with the public.
