Andros Efstathiou was born in Cyprus in 1974. He studied fine art photography in Athens (1994-1998).

He is the founder of isnotgallery, a contemporary art gallery inaugurated in 2008 in Nicosia, Cyprus, which showcases the work of distinguished contemporary artists from Cyprus and abroad, in both solo and group exhibitions.

He has participated in a number of notable exhibitions in Cyprus and overseas.

His Nicosia International Airport collection has attained international status. It was exhibited at Evripides gallery in Athens in 2017, under the curatorial oversight of Marios Teriade Eleftheriades. This was preceded by a spot in the official programme of the Photo Biennale of the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Thessaloniki in 2014. During the Cypriot presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2012, photographs from the NIA collection were selected to illustrate the cover of the tome that was presented to foreign delegations. It is now part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Thessaloniki. Several photographs from the NIA project have found their way into the permanent collections of such institutions as the European Central Bank, the Museum of Greek Folk Art, the National Gallery of Art in Cyprus, the Central Bank of Cyprus, as well as a number of Cypriot and European private collections.

Other projects include As they Suited a Lot, a group exhibition held at the Bath House of the Winds (Athens) as part of the official Kavafis Year celebrations. He also took part in Contemporary Art from Cyprus at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt in 2017, an exhibition curated by Dr. Britta Von Compenhausen.

His photographic collection Camel Trophy 2000 won the first prize at Fuji Film International.

His list of professional collaborations includes K magazine, a publication of Cyprus’s Kathimerini newspaper, and several Greece-based fashion magazines, news agencies and advertising firms.

He lives and works in Nicosia.
