It has ben a iourney fromthe myth to the allegory.from the archhetype to the symbol from the real event to the tragic sence of history.all these in an attempt to define the within the limits of an artistic language an atmosphere where being is confirmed.at this very moment of my quest i can only think of aserenity which is eternal only because it contains within the Person,the Crisis and the Pathos. I was born in Cyprus and I have studied Architecture, graduating in 1995 with a thesis entitled "Myth-historical topography", a land-art project, being my first step towards a new descipline the one of Art. After working for three years in an office producing mainly stage-design projects, I was awarded with the scholarship in sculpture from the National Institute of Scholarships of Greece and continued my studies in sculpture in K.I.A.D in Canterbury, England. I received a Master's degree in Fine Art in 2000 and since then I 've been working as a sculptor. My work is dealing with matters of form and space, which means that incudes Installations, Land art projects, Design of monuments and Drawing as a tool of understanding reality, expressing emotions and ideas as well as a preliminary stage for sculpture projects I am also concerned on the human figure and how it is placed in space. My work has a morfology that reflects my relation with the history of art from the ancient to the contemporary.
