The latest artwork by Angela ‘Kiki’ Konstantinopoulou, Convergence of Glory, was officially unveiled on June 4 at the Camden RSL Club by the local Mayor Theresa Fedeli.
Angela’s new work is sponsored by Camden Council and represents three battles against three enemies on one land across three different time zones for one cause – The Freedom of Greece. The brave ANZACs travelled from the other side of the world to fight alongside the Greeks against the Nazi invaders.

Angela is a Greek Australian artist. Her inner feelings, passions and desires for freedom coming from her cultural upbringing are fundamental in her art work.
Four of her paintings from the 1821 series were used specifically for stamps by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia in honour of the commemoration of the 1821 Bicentennial Greek War of Independence.
