As a child, he expressed his creativity through painting, sculpting, and carving, inspired by nature’s beauty. Growing up in Thessaloniki, he had access to nearby mountains, including Athos, Samothrace, Drama, and Olympus, further fueling his passion. He became a self-taught expert in woodcarving, creating models, musical instruments, figureheads, signs, works for churches, jewelry, and sculptures. After working on handmade Byzantine icons, he realized his true calling was creating his own art. Woodcarving became an integral part of his life, fulfilling a deep inner need and giving him a sense of happiness and connection. With almost 25 years of experience in teaching wood sculpturing, he continued to carve daily. And continues to explore new styles and ways of handling wood, which he so much loves!
