About the artist

He studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Rome. He participated in the Asia Minor Campaign as a war painter, alongside Spyros Papaloukas and Pericles Vyzantios, but the works of all three were lost amidst the destruction in Smyrna, after having been on display at the Zappeion Hall in Athens. Dividing his time between Germany, Greece and France, in 1923 he moved to Genoa. In 1919 he participated in the exhibition by the ‘Techni’ group of artists in Paris, and his work was shown in solo and group exhibitions in Greece and Italy; he represented these countries in the Venice Biennale (1934, 1936, 1940, 1948). His work focused on landscape painting, while he also created Symbolist works.
