From a young age he was busy with paints and drawings and growing up his talent unfolded with special knowledge in painting and Hagiography.
He attended classes from great painters and Hagiographers and in his creations there is a balanced participation of both art form
Kostas' technique is influenced by the Neoclassical School, with its intense expression of the faces and the Hagiographies where you can distinguish in them the constant struggle for survival and conquest of the harmony and peace that exude his works.
Kostas' themes taken from life and man present both the struggle of life and its dreamy peace.
He gives the same technical expression to the subjects of nature, where in the seascapes he seems to be possessed by an inability to dynamically express its elements, from the raging sea turbulence to the idyllic sunsets.
The teacher Kostas with special sensitivity and love teaches and helps continuously and indiscriminately every artist who will ask for his knowledge.
His artistic work and projects are known at the Pan-Hellenic and International level, and adorn many private and public spaces.
In recent years, in collaboration with the interior designer Tassos Perivolaris, created their own innovative painting trend , unique on a global level , characterized by the textured appearance of the painted object .

GOD APOLLO
"The Timeless Gaze: A Modern Apollo"
This captivating painting reinterprets classical beauty through a contemporary lens, drawing inspiration from ancient sculpture while infusing it with vibrant, modern expression. Reminiscent of Michelangelo's David, the artwork depicts a god-like figure—Apollo, symbol of light, music, and poetry.
The sharp interplay of light and shadow enhances the form's timeless features, giving the statue-like figure an almost living presence. Rich, warm hues of red and orange in the background juxtapose with the cool tones of the marble-like face, creating both tension and harmony. This fusion of classical form with bold, modern strokes invites viewers to reflect on the enduring power of mythology and art across time.
A stunning piece that breathes new life into ancient ideals of beauty and strength, this work is an homage to the past, yet profoundly relevant to the present.
Visit the gallery to experience it in person. Apollo awaits.
