Hi there! I’m a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Artist with a love for bold colors, clever branding, and a healthy dose of humor. My creative toolbox includes everything from logos and posters to packaging and print—and I always sprinkle a little inspiration (and caffeine) into every project. Born in the charming village of Fodele in 1974, I studied Graphic Arts and have been living and creating in Heraklion, Crete since 1998. Along the way, I co-founded the creative team “Poseidonos 21” and served as Art Director for venues like “Polis Cultural Space” and the underground hotspot “Pagopoieion First Floor Events.” Basically, if it involves design and a splash of eccentricity—I’m in.
Over the years, I’ve hosted solo exhibitions like “This is Ear Life” and “Proverb You, Proverb Me,” and participated in a colorful mix of group shows from “Think Clean” to international jazz meetups and everything in between. Whether I’m working on a campaign, doodling on a napkin, or contemplating the perfect shade of magenta, I bring heart, humor, and a slightly obsessive attention to detail to the table. Design isn’t just what I do—it’s how I see the world. Let’s make something unforgettable (and maybe a little weird) together!
My name is Kosta. RollaKosta!
The HEARTWORKS series explores love through visual transformation — where the heart becomes something unexpected, yet deeply familiar. This piece reimagines the heart as a symbolic object, paired with a poetic tagline that captures a feeling, a moment, or a connection.
Each artwork transforms the universal symbol of love into a different object, telling a unique story through visual metaphor and a carefully crafted tagline. Collect them individually or build your own Heartworks gallery. Perfect for modern interiors, bedrooms, or meaningful gifts.
Rollakosta is where chaos meets cotton. The name fuses rollercoaster with Konstantinos, because let’s be real—life’s one wild ride. From the highs that make your heart race to the lows that hit like Monday morning, this design wear series is all about embracing every twist and turn. Each piece is a wearable mood swing: bold prints, unexpected details, and vibes that shift with you. Whether you're riding high or hanging on, Rollakosta’s here for the journey—with tees, hoodies, and designs that scream style with feeling. Born from a personal spiral and powered by creative freedom, it’s more than fashion—it’s emotional armor. Ready to ride life?
The exhibition "All the Posters of the Orange Festival," held at Fodele’s El Greco Museum from May 16–31, 2026, concluded with highly positive acclaim. For the first time, the event gathered every festival poster and historic photograph, showcasing the cultural evolution of this beloved local institution.
Visitors from across Greece explored the artwork, sharing personal memories linked to Fodele's identity. Organized by the "Dominikos Theotokopoulos" Cultural Society, the exhibition celebrated the village’s heritage. The iconic posters, designed by local graphic artist Kostas Karnikis, blended tradition with modern design. The society warmly thanked everyone who participated in making this inspiring cultural gathering a success.
