general education, he went on to study Artistic

sculptures in 1960. Since this first period of his
creative presence, public and critics noted his
ingenuity, technical skills and creative imagination.

one-man show, which more often than not attract the
attention and favourable comments of art theorists and
critics. In 1970 he was awarded second prize in
Sculpture at the International Biennale of Alexandria.
In 1981 he received an honorary invitation to the US by
well known architect Herber Bayer, to set up his
sculptures at Aspen Colorado and Oklahoma.Works of his
are to be found in many public and private collections
in Greece and abroad. |
