Born in Athens, he studied fresco and encaustics in the Scuola delle Arti Ornamentali, Rome. Since the late ’60s he “doubts” the values of traditional painting and starts creating objects-situations, whereas since the early ’70s he creates constructions and installations by employing diverse materials and everyday objects. He introduces the element of illusion and since 1978 he starts creating the series Trees and a little later his Seascapes. Since 1985 he experiments with video and introduces real motion in painting by creating “live painting”.  Since the ’90s he realizes constructions of monumental dimensions and is interested in video installations and performance.
