Special Information for the Artist
Self-taught, he used to own a gallery in 1953 in Agrinion, Greece where he made mostly portraits. Until 1966, he devoted himself to icon-painting. After 1966 he left wall icon painting and he became a painter of portable artworks and since then he has been focusing mostly on popular subjects. His artworks move within the frameworks of folk art where elements such as the prolonged and empirical composition, the antinaturalistic perception of space, the emphasis on the detail, the clearness and decorative essence of colours, conformity to the grant of the typical tone, the designing clarity with the highlighting of the linear elements and especially the cutout profiles are clearly visible.
