Courtyards of childhood memories

2022 — 2025

The element of Mediterranean nature takes on a leading role, with bitter orange trees in the courtyards, olive trees, and roosters gazing toward the blue horizon.

Wandering cities

2014 — 2018

The journey here is more spiritual; the houses gain space and move away from one another, while the element of form is introduced, particularly that of the spiral.

Τin canvases

1999 — 2019

The houses are now dark, emerging from a hidden memory that nevertheless continues to struggle between the forces of good and evil, darkness and light.

Ethereal cities

2001 — 2012

The acrylic colors create a semi-transparent effect, giving the sense that we can see inside each house, perhaps even inside each person who lives within it.

In Three Dimensions

2001 — 2008

The artist uses oxidized sheet metal, a worn material that records the passage of time.
