About The Artwork
Toy Soldier, looks on the relationship we are developing with reality. The gun icon (emoticon) on digital devices has been replaced with a "toy" gun. The artwork is asking questions like: • Why is that? • Is a toy-gun, less dangerous than a real one? • How does this make a gun less of what it actually is? • Is it something we shouldn't be taking too seriously? • Are we evolving into culturally poor immoral creatures? • Is a soldier the same? • Is human, a toy? Purposely depicting a soldier in nude, bouncing the thought of what is reality and what is toying, back and forth on a minefield of an existential walk.

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.
