The Intersection of Creativity and Society, with Anthony Nicolaou

Welcome to the Summer Series of The Wilderness of Creativity podcast with artist, Anthony Nicolaou (@afnicolaou54).

Anthony is a dedicated educator and artist with a foundation background in the arts, having started his journey at Chelsea before advancing to the BA Fine Art course at Hornsey School of Art (Middlesex University). After a fulfilling career in education that spanned over 35 years, he has now shifted his focus entirely to creating art. Specialising in oil and watercolour paintings, Anthony finds inspiration in his surroundings, working from a beautiful studio that overlooks the River Thames. Anthony has kindly donated one of his paintings as part of a giveaway.

Key discussion points:

  • Exploring the role of art in society
  • Empowering young people though arts education
  • Art influences and inspiration
  • The importance of creative community and support

Thank you for listening!
