Born in Athens in 1950, he had his first lessons in drawing and colouring as a teenager (starting in 1965) by Fotis Sarris. From 1969 to 1974 he studied at the ASFA under Nikos Nikolaou, Yorgos Mavroidis and Yannis Moralis. He graduated with distinction and a special mention for his nocturnal nudes. In 1977 he had his first solo exhibition at the Zoumboulakis Gallery. In 1979 he went to Paris and stayed for two years, working in painting and small constructions.
His painting is representational, with discreet expressive distortions and schematisations of the forms. His early periods are dominated by human figures in everyday scenes set in interior spaces as well as female nudes on the beach, with some autobiographical elements and a special kind of eroticism. The figures are drawn with generous outlines and fill the space of the painting, often in an ironic or even aggressive mood, while colour is a main element of expression. The painter subsequently moves away from the anthropocentric subjects but retains his ironic approach in a series of works with images of dogs (Faces of erotic dogs, 2005) rendered with tenderness and humour. His latest solo exhibition (Painting cocktail, 2012) featured small painterly constructions inspired by personal memories, from old 1960s adverts to the experiences from his sojourn in Paris, as well as by his daily wanderings in the streets and squares of Athens.
He has presented his work in eight solo exhibitions in Greece and has participated in several group shows: Panhellenic Exhibition (1975), Exhibition from the Vorres Museum Collection (1979), 150 Young Painters of the Community (1982), Art in the Streets (1985), 19th and 20th Century Greek Painting (2006), Art Athina 16 (2010), etc. His works are in the National Gallery, the Vorres Museum and in private collections.
