About The Artwork

It is an allegory for a childs inner fears,especially the ones dealing with war.the child's bed which is usually the refuge from all his fears has become a boat traveling away from all terrifying images .Unfortunately the effort is doomed to faillure because those icons of despair have nothing to do with the place but there have been inscribed in the boys sensitive heart. the boys figure is made of plaster dressed in real clothes to combine thes artificial with real and it is standing on a platform constructed similarly as a child's bed.The memory of the boys father is present on the icon of a soldier hanging on the side.

I was born in Cyprus and I have studied Architecture, graduating in 1995 with a thesis entitled "Myth-historical topography", a land-art project, being my first step towards a new descipline the one of Art. After working for three years in an office producing mainly stage-design projects, I was awarded with the scholarship in sculpture from the National Institute of Scholarships of Greece and continued my studies in sculpture in K.I.A.D in Canterbury, England. I received a Master's degree in Fine Art in 2000 and since then I 've been working as a sculptor. My work is dealing with matters of form and space, which means that incudes Installations, Land art projects, Design of monuments and Drawing as a tool of understanding reality, expressing emotions and ideas as well as a preliminary stage for sculpture projects I am also concerned on the human figure and how it is placed in space. My work has a morfology that reflects my relation with the history of art from the ancient to the contemporary.
