He has partishipated in one individual and ten group exhibitions in Greece and abroad and he has worked as a set designer in the theater, exhibitions and events.
Statement
The seemingly intimate –anthropocentric scenes he presents in his work, constitute a personal version of reality that works as a spatial metaphor of one hidden identity. In these worlds, reality is symbolically distorted in a metaphysical, grotesque space of perversion and freedom intended to function as the hiding place that one can know, protect or to reinvent himself. Topics such as forbidden instincts, repressed desires, the spectrum of fear, the tendency of inhabiting dreams, the death, the decay, the trauma... dominate enclosed space. In his installations he creates and reflects upon hidden zones of the human personality.
