Born in Athens in 1967, he studied graphic design at the Vakalo School (1988-1991) and took classes of painting, sculpture and art history at the Art & Philosophy Group under Rubina Sarlakou, Kyriakos Rokos and Yannis Papaioannou. He specialised in pottery at the Iridanos School under Menandros Papadopoulos and Nikos Sklavenitis. In 1998-1999 he taught freehand drawing at the Vakalo School, and in 2011-2016 he taught freehand drawing and jewellery design at Mokume Art Studies. Since 2006 he teaches pottery at the Diavassi programme of KETHEA.
His first solo exhibition was held in 1997 at the Angathi Gallery. Initially he presents an anthropocentric painting, mainly portraits in an intensely expressionistic idiom. Soon his media expand into sculptures, constructions and installations with many diverse materials, including photography and collage. His thematic choices reflect social or philosophical preoccupations around the appropriation or deconstruction of objective reality and nature, the attainment of truth and the awareness of human mortality. The works lend themselves to multiple interpretations, thanks in part to the complex processing of the images and objects which determines their morphology as well as their conceptual content.
He has presented his work in solo exhibitions in various Greek cities (Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Eleusis) and has participated in dozens of domestic and international group shows: Art Mart (Kunstlerhaus, Vienna 2007), 2nd Biennale of Contemporary Art “Athens Heaven” (Athens 2009), Boiling Point (Kunstlerhaus, Vienna 2012), 7th Berlin Biennale of Contemporary Art (Berlin, 2012), 7th Beijing Biennale of Contemporary Art (National Art Museum, Beijing 2017), etc.
His works can be found in Greek museums and collections – Benaki Museum, Thessaloniki State Museum of Contemporary Art, Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, Alpha Bank Collection, Collection of the American College of Greece – as well as in private collections. He is a founding member of the Provo Principles group (from 2011 to date).
