GEORGE PENNAS

George Penas was born in Corfu. He studied at the Island’s School of Art and studied at the Royal Art School of London and the Academy di Napoli. Since 1990 he has taken part in many solo and group exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad. His works are available in many galleries in Europe and in private collections in Greece, Italy and France.

Today he lives and works in Corfu where his artistic workshop is located, “hidden” in the traditional cantons of the city. His work remains an attraction for Greeks and foreigners who seek the magic and beauty of nature through the incredible compositions of rare flowers that emerge through his paintings.
