ENGRAVED STRUCTURES   My background began with studies in Egypt and later in Greece. My familiarity with two classical schools and with two distinct worlds can, perhaps, be traced in my work.
The majority of the elements which constitute my work are derived through the observation of nature, of the environment and of optical phenomena.
I create structures and reliefs. I carve and engrave flat and rough surfaces. I colour these surfaces after a careful observation of light and shadow and of contrasts: black and white, or black and yellow. I arrange my colours on this base. The initial sketches, which are the starting point for these works, are in ink or tempera. I select the materials which help me bring my thoughts to life and I discover their potential in the process of using them. The material multiplies the forms of the conceived idea.

Art, like nature, transcends the limits set by rules. When art begins to follow a particular code, to become repetitive, it loses its impulsiveness. It is difficult for art to accept strict geometry and function within its rules. This is the neverending conflict between the reason of logic and the intuitiveness of emotion. My free and systematic approach to the work I do, fulfils my artistic expressiveness.
