*a squirmy dragon *experimental *artist *art director *explosive *dream collector
I'm a versatile fine artist and researcher from Nicosia, Cyprus. With a background spanning visual art, spatial + graphic design, poetry, videography, scenography, and curatorial practices, I always want to delve into the intricacies of human thought and existentialism in my work. The things I produce constantly explore themes of psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience through atmospheric dreamscapes and narrational surrealism. My background in Interior Design (GSA - Glasgow) and Academic Classical Realism (BAA-Barcelona) helped me focus on what I truly love doing, which is experiential design and impressionistic realities. Generally, I dive into ambiguity and abstract connections, aiming to stimulate viewers and transport them into the subconscious.

In this incredible workshop offered by Primanima x Animafest led by Stephen Woloshen, I was completely encapsulated and inspired to create a videoclip for a Cypriot-led progressive metal band, for which I am the creative director for. In this short (but felt massive) workshop I managed, with the help of many of the people involved, to create the first draft for the videoclip of 'Emetion" (track still in progress). The thematic tackled was mostly the inherent misunderstanding and helpless structuring of the mental field. Neurons, abrasive thoughts, emotional turmoil and impulsive decisions. Hope you enjoy.
