Born in Piraeus, Greece 1940.
He studied in the Athens School of Fine Arts,
hagiography and engraving (1959 - 1964), under K.
Grammatopoylos, and he continued the engraving studies
in the Slade School of Fine Art in London, under A.
Gross and B. Dos Santos, with scholarship (1970 - 1973)
and in Tamarind Institute of Lithography of New Mexico,
USA, with scholarship of the Ford institution
(1976). Up to 1974 he deals with engraving, and creates
surrealistic compositions of enigmatic character. From
1974 he is into oil painting.
His painting is distinguished for its big realistic
precision but also for the exploitation of hallucination
that causes the optical illusion, as well as stylistic
and paintings of subjects of Rebirth and Baroque. His
work is characterized of the absence of human form and
the allusive atmosphere. After directing installation,
his work acquires symbolic importance.
