I am an artist, organic chemist and PhD graduate in Arts often using biosciences and digital technologies for my artistic research. During my studies at Fine Arts School of Athens and through my research in visual arts, I had the chance to taste and try a wide range of media, in which would take advantage of my many years of study and academic activity as a chemist. My approach to individual artistic activity can be described mainly with the term “experimentation”. It is the “shaping” that takes place between art and science to organize and shape the world’s interpretive process. The nature of the image and sound is multifaceted and is projected through a series of inter-artistic correlations. The aforementioned coupling is a catalyst for the creation of new hybrid models, which are related to image, sound and consequently a new mental attitude. I use real scientific methodologies and experimental processes arrived from bio sciences, as a solid ground for my artistic work where real data, invented parameters, ecological issues and societal values, are forced to collaboration in the alternate story of a sustainable future. Therefore, I examine the interface between the person and the surrounding world, by using scientific processes, altered and modified, under the prism of artistic creation. Have participated in many scientific European research projects as a research fellow, giving lectures on interdisciplinary issues and attend many conferences. Exhibitions, workshops, publications, and collaborative projects are among my recent activities.
