Liquid Painting and Drawing with Nikos

Nikos is a painter and draftsman known for his unique use of flowing, energetic linework. Several creative and philosophical influences impact his way of seeing the world. He devours the words of Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers, and Heraclitus’s philosophy “Everything flows, nothing stands still” has influenced Nikos’ approach to both life and art. A gifted pianist, Nikos often compares colors to musical chords. In his paintings, different colors blend together to eventually create one, harmonious piece.

Nikos studied Painting, Stage-setting Design and Music in Greece followed by Artistic Research in Sweden. He finds it interesting how art can be reconnected with the realm of everyday experiences, and with life in general. He has created the stage-setting and paintings for several movies and theatrical shows, and is a founding member of a cultural center in Athens.

When he is not painting, he enjoys teaching people how to better visualize and see the world, and how to build an image from nothing. There’s no straight line, and no boxes in Nikos's approach to art. He has the ability to teach one to identify liquid forms, to visualize how light falls on the skin, and to effortlessly depict the intricacies of fingerprints.

Ultimately, Nikos delights in meeting interesting and creative people, and sharing his unique method of painting the chords of colors. He welcomes an exchange of ideas and loves to hear stories about art, and beyond. When you visit, you'll meet his wife, son and dog in his birth-place, Athens, the city that he loves the most, as it is full of surprises - thus, a magnet for artistic souls.
