"JUNGLE VERSUS CITY" Painting

FREE STYLE ARTIST I was born and grew up in Volos in 1973. Volos is a big city in Greece. I studied Decoration in 1992 and Graphic Design in 2000. I've chosen to study Interior Design in 1992 in the sector of applied Arts. I had a strong feeling that by attending this course, I could meet important tutors of Art and Design who could help me to learn new methods and techniques. For example, in History of Art module I had met historic art and their creators. History of Art had also helped me to express my own believes in Fine Art painting and drawings. My tutors encouraged me to enlarge and put my portfolio in larger canvas with colour. Futhermore, I've had taken lessons by Michael Vamvakaris in his Fine Art studio in Volos. I also sat the National Examination board of Fine Art, but I failed. A series of personal difficulties and a serious car accident reversed my plans for Fine Art school in Salonica. Meanwhile, I had decided to attent Graphic Design course in my home town Volos in 1998, since it prooved more practical to be close to my home. When I finished Graphic Design degree, I had travelled in different countries such as England, Germany and Czech Republic looking for a job. Finally, I have started a period of surrealistic themes by painting on canvas with oil, in 2010.
