I was born in Athens, Greece (1974). I have illustrated many picture books, book covers, posters, boardgames among other things.
My work has been published in Greece, Brazil, Korea, Turkey and France.
My clients include Patakis Publishers, Papadopoulos Publishing, Diaplous, Ikaros Publishing, Psichogios Publications, Metaichmio Publications, Editions Langue au Chat, Beijing Double Spiral Culture among others.
Most of my work balances between reality and myth.
My illustration process combines handmade (collage, stamps, painting) and computer processed graphics.
