SOPHOCLES "PHILOCTETES" Painting

At "Synergy1973" organised by Glyn Hughes,who provided me with the canvas, I displayed my first painting,"Magic Moments" .Realising that as a painter to earn a living I had to conform, decided to go into the world of fashion (I studied Fashion design and Art at De Montfort Uni.) and paint when I was financially comfortable, so money would not dictate my Art.I operated a casual-wear co.using my own registered labels(Zapata,Rollers,Genesis) which I exported all over Europe. My base until 1999 was Cyprus.In 1999 I moved to Romania.In 2004 I sold my Fashion co. there ,returned to Cyprus and started creating a series of paintings. 1)Escape of the Gods,1973-2007(This work is presented in a book that I published in 2008) 2)Greek Tragedians and Comedians,2008-2015 3)Poetry meets Art,2016- 4)Small and spontaneous,2016- 5)Homo Erectus,2018- 6)Photo Art,2018- In my paintings I give my everything,I study the subject well and produce no more than ten works a year.
