“I was born and raised in a small Greek town
situated among beautiful mountains, lakes and
forests. There is an artistic expression in my
family which supported my work and fueled
my inspiration. Additionally, my hometown is
well known for its artists such as painters and
sculptors. All these factors made me love art
and live through art.”
“After completing my military service,
I decided to start my own advertising and
graphic design business. The first years were
quite amazing and prosperous but, soon after,
the Greek crisis hit us and that crippled any
financial progress in my country. The positive
aspect of that misfortunate situation was that I
had more free time to explore and create. I felt
the urge to do something more artistic and it
was then that I discovered Instagram.”
“Nowadays, things are better for me because
the exposure I have gained from Instagram
has given me job offers and opportunities
that I couldn’t have imagined before. My first
Instagram advertising campaign was for a well-
known luxury watch brand. I love to give a
different point of view to those brands, to add
fantasy and a surreal touch.”
