About

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, my practice has developed through two interconnected paths: painting and long-term research-based projects. Alongside an extensive body of abstract painting exhibited internationally, I have been developing ECHOES, an ongoing artistic research project initiated in 2010, with its first public presentation in Athens in 2020.

ECHOES investigates artistic creation not as a final outcome, but as a multilayered process involving gesture, memory, participation, and the unconscious. Within this framework, elements often considered secondary in painting, such as the cleaning of brushes, the accumulation of material traces, and the layering of colour, are re-examined as autonomous aesthetic events, carriers of meaning and emotional intensity. The project unfolds through installation, participatory elements, and evolving forms of documentation, positioning process itself as a central subject of inquiry.

My painting practice remains a core component of my work. I approach painting intuitively, working directly on the canvas without preparatory sketches, guided by immediacy, gesture, and emotional response. Rather than representing what I see, I explore what is felt, allowing colour and form to emerge as expressions of internal states.

Abstract painting, for me, is a space of openness and exploration, a way to engage with perception, emotion, and transformation through material presence.

My work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in galleries, museums, and contemporary art fairs in Greece and internationally, including Athens, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, Santorini, Cyprus, New York, London, Paris, Rome, Venice, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Vienna, Tokyo, and Dubai. My work is included in private and institutional collections and has been presented in venues such as the Athens War Museum, the OTE Group Telecommunications Museum, the Copelouzos Family Art Museum in Athens, Museu da CARRIS in Lisbon, Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice, MUST Museo Storico in Lecce, and Expo Metro Barcelona.

I live and work in Athens.
