About the artist

He graduated from the School of Arts in Athens (1900-1907) and went on to study at the Munich Academy; in 1909 he moved to Paris, where he studied at the studio of Louis-Marie Désiré-Lucas (1910-1913). Returning to Greece, he settled in Athens and worked for a while in a shared studio with Konstantinos Maleas. He exhibited with the ‘Techni’ group of artists, of which he was a founding member in 1917.   He made modern genre works, still-life paintings, portraits and landscapes, and also pursued religious themes. His small-scale compositions employ Expressionist modes, alongside Impressionist and Post-Impressionist teachings, and can be distinguished by their inwardness and their subjective character.
