About

I am a visual artist based in Athens

I was born in Athens in 1971. I studied Business (BA Hons) and Management (MSc) in the U.K., followed by studies in Philosophy as well as Drawing and Painting in Athens. Before turning to art full-time, I worked in advertising and for the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games Organising Committee, while also managing a privately owned boutique hotel in Naxos.

Since 2011, I have been consistently engaged in painting, presenting my work in ten solo and over eighty group exhibitions and art projects in galleries, museums, and contemporary art fairs in Greece and abroad, including Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, Cyprus, New York, London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Vienna, Tokyo, and Dubai. In 2013, I was awarded First Prize at the Mitteleuropa Prix International Art Competition by the Ufofabrik Contemporary Art Gallery in Italy.

I consider myself an impulsive artist, driven by the need to paint what I feel rather than what I see. The canvas is a space where my mind can roam freely. I create directly on the canvas, with no prior rough sketch, guided by intuitive and exploratory processes. Abstract painting is my personal journey of inner exploration, allowing me to translate human emotions into colours and forms through a diverse range of techniques.

My artwork is part of private collections in Greece and internationally. It has been exhibited at the Athens War Museum, the OTE Group Telecommunications Museum, and the Copelouzos Family Art Museum in Athens, as well as at the Museu da CARRIS in Lisbon, the Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice, the MUST Museo Storico della Città in Lecce, and Expo Metro Barcelona, a public art event held at Passeig de Gràcia Metro Station.

I live and work in Athens.
