He exhibited his artworks in September of the same year at the cultural center of Andravida. Since then he has participated in various group exhibitions. Having visited various museums he came in contact with the creations of impressionism, expressionism and symbolism, as well as modern artistic flows, ending up really affected. Additionally he’s involved with poetry, animal rights activism and he is a undergraduate student at the university of Piraeus.
