With the economic support of Papastratou brothers he went to Paris and attended courses in the free Academies Grande Chamiere and Colarossi while he worked in the laboratory of the sculptor M. Gimond. In his work the interpretations are also connected with a bigger accent in the austerity and the simplification of forms, the opposition of volumes and the intensity of outlines, the accent in the substantive and the effectiveness of their expressive language.
