Special Information for the Artist
Born in Tyrnabos, 1944.
He studied painting and mosaic at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1968-1972) with teachers G. Moralis and E. Boilas, and worked near A. Asteriadis.
His painting, that is characterized by the geometric regulation of volumes, the clean oppositions of colours, with accent in the attribution of light, is shaped under the influence of painting of big Greek schoolteachers, as the K. Maleas, M. Oikonomou, A. Asteriadis and G. Moralis.
His themes are on a scale of landscapes, in the beginning , that are memories of Thessalian ground, up to anthropocentric compositions, that will occupy more and more his later work. Simultaneously, his drawing style maintains his initial bonds with the roots of old and Byzantine tradition, that is expressed through the strict, almost Dorian architectural layout of volumes. Those steady characteristics of his work, are being trasformed considerably in the more free expression of his recent work.
