About
A fine art specialist with a proven record of over a decade in the market, Olympia Pappa founded Techne Art Consultancy after identifying the need for discreet, private, and professional art advisory services.
Contact with Greek artists at a young age ignited her fascination with art, and set her on a career path that would include collaborations with the Benaki and Cycladic Art museums in Athens, as well as the Hellenic Institute of Byzantine studies in Venice and Condé Nast.
She holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in art and language studies from St. Andrews University, University College London and Imperial College, and has lived in Italy, Greece, France, Russia, and the UK.
For more than seven years Olympia headed the Modern and Contemporary Greek Art department at Bonhams Auctioneers in London, traveling worldwide to source and promote both well-known and hidden masterpieces.
Olympia has a deep and cross-cultural understanding of international business, and the experience and expertise necessary to offer valued clients concierge art services with the highest level of privacy, clarity, and integrity.
