He was born on September 15, 1964, in the city of Valencia, by Greek parents who had emigrated there in 1958.

From a very young age, he showed an interest in the arts, and at just six years old, he began piano lessons. In 1972, he enrolled at he “Cambridge Cultural Center”, where he started his first painting lessons under the guidance of teacher Luis Rodriguez. At the age of 24, he was accepted into the school of Fine Arts “Arturo Michelena” in Valencia and has since studied with several prominent artists, such as Humberto Jaimes, Braulio Salazar, Vladimir Zabaleta and Francisco Bugallo.

In 1980, he moved to Greece, where he completed high school three years later. Then, in 1983, when he joined the Greek army in Veria, he was assigned to decorate the headquarter with murals depicting battles of Alexander the Great and the Unknown Soldier.

In 1985, he returned to Venezuela and specialized in painting, sculpture, ceramics and design again at the school of Fine Arts “Arturo Michelena” in Valencia. He left the school in 1988 when he met the sculptor Alexis Mujica and started working in his workshop. There, he specialized in polyester techniques and bronze casting. He worked alongside him until the sculptor’s death, and together they created many statues to decorate squares and parks. Together with Mujica and other sculptors, also, they painted the murals in the cathedral of Valencia, depicting scenes of bullfighting.

In 1990, along with two other artists, the sculptor Alexis Mujica and Carlos Rojas, he founded the “Grupo Nosferatus”, showcasing their works in private exhibitions.

Throughout his career, he worked in various cities worldwide, including Greece, and until today, alongside his art, he is also involved in the design and construction of nightclub spaces. In 1996, he was commissioned to design the nightclub “Legestimus” in Pylos, a place he fell in love so much that he decided to live there permanently.
