 He was born outside Greece, in
Sozopoli Bulgaria. He came to Greece at the age of
sixteen and after his studies goes to Paris, where later
is going to return regularly, as his work is recognized
late in Greece. After his first ventures in the direction
of impressionism, he finally develops his own artistic
style where the chromatic atmosphere functions as a mere
suggestion and the figures (usually women) as symbols. In
his works Portrait of Cybele, Archaic Figures, and
Synthesis the artist bases his work on a timeless
atmosphere  which is created by the soft
colors, to achieve the desired sublime quality in the
female forms he portrays. He avoids exactness of details
and in this general atmosphere tries to portray values of
timelessness through his forms. |
