ARTIST STATMENT

 

ëí Art is process and art is meaning , but mostly art is harmony. As an artist I am driven by curiosity, wonder and desire to understand and describe the world . I like to mix images, styles and philosophies from different places and times and I challenge myself to find harmony in all of these. I paint to communicate and I paint because it makes me feel complete and happy. I use my life experiences in a visual language. My inspiration comes from thoughts on my exposure to art, from nostalgia, from history, from emotion, but mainly from a strong belief that all lifeís characters and elements have their own magic.íí

His work can be found in public, corporate and private collections in Greece, Austria, Germany, France, Great Britain, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, South Africa, Mexico and the United StatesÖHe lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia and Mykonos, Greece.
