"A big, black ovum, non besieged" Drawing

I was born in 1976 in Athens, Greece where I live and work as a freelance graphic designer, photographer, illustrator and copywriter. I work mainly with pencil and ink on various surfaces. My drawings are characterized by autobiographical references, elements of automatic writing and harmonic repetition. I seek inspiration in everyday life (whether it's an incident, an image or a song) and dig up images from my childhood and the native art of faraway continents. Three movements that have played a big role in my work are: Surrealism, Art Brut and the Situationist International. My current profile picture is a portrait I did of Lamberto Maggiorani, the protagonist in Vittorio de Sica's Bicycle Thieves (pencil and a bit of acrylic collage, 40x40cm).
