Fikos
Byzantine Art first captured me at the young age of 10, when I started embroidering and drawing Byzantine icons with colored pencils. After many years of work as an iconographer and a graffiti artist at the same time, I eventually started integrating these two different parts of me, creating what I currently call “Contemporary Byzantine Painting�. In my
fikos.gr
current works you can meet the art of ancient Greek vases, elements of Sumerian myths and the abstraction of Cycladic and African idols combined with bright colors of pop-art, letters and graphic patterns. My vision is to create the spark that will revive ancient painting tradition in the modern world of art. I work to reconcile past and future in the present time.
