The silver lake ,Mosaic Artwork

I am a Belgian-Greek artist born in Athens, Greece. I studied painting, art history as well as mosaic at the University of Fine Arts in Athens. Shortly after the end of my studies, I returned to the same University but this time to teach.II started my career with 2 solo exhibitions at the Zygos gallery in Athens and my art has aroused the interest of a variety of collectors and museums, such as the National Greek Gallery and the Vorres Museum, that have added my works to their collections.In 1991 a series of solo exhibitions,organized, in museums in Tokyo and Osaka , by the renowned Japanese publishing group the " Yomuri Shimbun"in collaboration with the Japanese department of cultural affairs. Having a strong cultural heritage the first period of my career was mainly  influenced and inspired by my homeland .In 1995 I decided to leave Greece and I found myself in Brussels a city with multicultural character and from there I have  been artistically active in many countries by having solo exhibitions as well as working on private and public commissions in Belgium, Greece,Germany, France,Russia,the Netherlands, the United States and the United Arab Emirates.In 2008, I held a solo exhibition at the Royal Museum of Art and History at the Cinquantenaire in Brussels, .In the same year, my work"crown" was installed in the Vatican next to the Sarcophagus of His Holiness The pope John Paul II From 2009 till 2013 I lived between Brussels and Moscow, at the invitation of a Russian collector ,where I participated in art projects and exhibitions. In 2012, I participated in the Moscow Biennial with my work"Reliquarium", a mixed media installation.From 2013till present I have been working on commissioned  by collectors works like the decoration of an old cycladic Church with mosaic icons. At the same time I am creating and exploring new forms of self expression that would help me to bring out all my questions and visions on subjects such as politics, the arts, social classification, the meeting and mixing of cultures, gender, the past and the present eras.Since2017 I have been working in collaboration with the French photographer Axel Leotard on a series of projects named Π+A.
