Statement

My fascination with classical culture and art can be traced back to my childhood years when I was - quite by default - exposed to it in Greece. My artwork usually explores the abilities of different materials and techniques - from stone to cyberspace – with this classical backdrop as the subject of exploration. Naturally, a classical affinity with basic geometry and mathematics as a means of organizing an aesthetic universe has been dominating my art since its early stages.
