About Dimitris Pikros

Born in 1973, Larisa, Greece. My name is Dimitris Pikros and I am a visual artist. My art has always focused on creating thematic projects that combine canvas paintings with interactive art installations and/or performances. Through experimenting in my paintings, I have been interested in developing a process with unpolluted colour and shapes. This fascination aims at an outcome with a contemporary feel, inspired by contemporary evolution and the combination of shape and colour, thus contrasting the sense of perspective without the presence of the outline.

Education:

I graduated from the School of Fine Arts at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with an Honours Degree and first of my class in late 2000 (I obtained the top grades in the year and I was subsequently selected to present my work at Art Biennale Athens).

At the Biennale my collection of exhibited artworks was received with such acclaim that all my artworks were sold.

Events:

In late 2006, I retired from the art world in order to embark on a journey of self-growth and personal development, where I developed my knowledge of Zen, Meditation and Yoga philosophies. My Zen journey helped me develop personally and find inner peace.

In the last 3 years, however, I have felt ready to reconnect with my visual artist side. I decided to move to London and work on my new projects: my current work revolves around painting and thematic projects on the basis of movement.

Exhibitions:

I have worked in Barcelona as a visual artist in the period 2000-2006. I have shown my work in individual and group exhibitions in several countries in Europe, most frequently in Greece, Spain and Germany.

I am currently live in London and work towards developing my new projects.
