Read MoreI was born
in Busto Arsizio (Italy) from Greek ancestors.
I graduated
in 1967 at the Liceo Artistico of my town in Fine Arts, followed by a
post-graduate diploma in Graphic Design
in 1973, at the Academy of Artistic Activities (3A), Milan.
I have worked as an
artist and a fine arts teacher in many Countries around the world, including
Italy, Saudi Arabia (as Fine Arts and Craft teacher of the
Royal Family in Riyadh from 1986 to 1989), Libya, India and seventeen years in UAE, where I have adapted my classical background to
fit the local culture and atmosphere.
I have specialized in the “portrait”, with different graphic and pictorial techniques. An expression in which I try
combining the figurative aspect with a deep psychological introspection, since the main task in this type of painting is to overcome the
mere physical resemblance, to catch the most intimate aspects of the
characters, their interior qualities. Not only the surface of things, but their
soul, their intimate beauty.
I have exhibited in many countries around the world, and I am listed in several international Art Catalogues, including the Modern Art Catalogue No. 54 (formed Bollafi) published by Giorgio Mondadori, 2018, and the International Contemporary Artists” Volume VII, C.A. Publishing, USA.
Various internationally recognized Art Critics have written about me, including Paolo Levi, Vittorio Sgarbi and Philippe Daverio.
