About The Artwork
Oil fouls and poisons the soil and the soul. It stains the hands of politicians and generals, who siphon off its profits. It taints the ambitions of the young, who will try anything to scoop up a share of the liquid riches—fire a gun, sabotage a pipeline, kidnap another. It bribes, it kills. To oil, to us! I wrote to several refineries around the world, asking to supply me with some crude oil for an artwork but none of them wanted to get involved. Fortunately, a few weeks later, a member of staff from one of the refineries wrote back to me offering to sell me a glass of wine worth for the price of a barrel for me to use for 'educational purposes'. A handmade, mouth blown crystal glass from Austria is used to serve the crude oil.

United Kingdom
Born in Greece, I spent my childhood and adolescent years walking the banks of the Acheron - the river of woe, as it was also known in antiquity. I was mesmerised by the mention of my neighbourhood in Plato's, dialogue, Phaedo; Virgil's epic poem The Aeneid; Freud's book The Interpretation of Dreams; and last but not least, in Dante's narrative poem the Divine Comedy. In my final year at Lyceum, having inked all books from cover to cover with drawings and sketches, I made the decision to study art. After completing two years of art and design classes in Athens, and winning civic awards, I moved to the UK. I completed a BA at the University of Western England, an MA in Arts at the University of Hertfordshire and later studied at London's Central Saint Martins.
