I was born in 1983 in Zakynthos, Greece. My main studies were in engineering, but I also attended lectures at “Focus school of Art Photography” in Athens.
"My photographs are not meant to represent reality or specific locales. Instead, they depict my own subjective feelings about nature, its wildness and unpredictability, and the mystery and psychic emanations of places and peoples.”
I have participated in many art exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad. One of them was the APhf 2010, where I received the title “Young Greek Photographer” by the Hellenic Center for Photography.
I am the owner of Anima Vision a media production company based in Greece.
