About Me

I am 30 years old,I live in Athens,Greece.I am a painter in my profession,with many other activities and interests in my life. I began writing Graffiti in 1994 to turn soon in painting figures on walls.I studied painting in the Athens School of Fine Arts until 2003,now I paint everything,from small drawings to canvases to huge murals. My painting keeps a solid base of the iconographic tradition of Greece and especially Crete,the land of my origin,Byzantine Iconography that is.At the same time,I have lots of other influences in my work,most significant of all being art of the orient(China,Tibet but most of all Japan),Muralismo,different Western painters from past and present.I consider myself a religious painter above everything,even without necessarily painting always religious themes. To balance my brain and my obsession with painting,from 2000 I have been studying Ninjutsu,an ancient Japanese Martial Art,and since 2003 I began studying Osteopathy,Qigong and a variety of other things concerning Medicine in Munich,Germany. Here is a small sample of work,for more check into my photos.Website to come soon.Here's part of my participation in the 1st Athens Biennial titled"Destroy Athens",Sep-Nov 2007
