Spyros Koikas

“The Sidewalk Sculptor”

This nickname was given to him
when a colleague first noticed him
working outside on the street.
Despite creating on the sidewalk due to circumstances,
art never stops being a part of his life.
Although it might seem strange to some,
he enjoys the opportunity to showcase art to people
who might not have discovered it otherwise.
It's like bringing a small piece of culture
to the younger generation through the art of marble sculpting.

His nickname is a reminder of his love for art
and his commitment to sharing that love with the world around him.
