Orestis Ilias

Orestis Ilias is a visual artist, based in Athens, who deals with conceptual, story telling and documentary photography. On the other hand works on abstract paintings, murals and street art.

The basic perception that permeates the majority of his projects is the concept of individual and collective memory. Ιn his works he seeks the expression of human emotions, most of the time without the depiction of people.

His projects are basically influenced by social, political and humanistic stimuli. Through the works he shows how he sees the outside world, connecting his inwardness to the external movement driven by feelings of self and embodied experience.
