About Me

  My artistic journey began with my birth in 1948 St. Louis Missouri. I am a Greek-American contemporary fine art painter, professional medical scientific illustrator, licensed in cardiovascular diagnostic ultrasound, a professional musician and sculptor based in Florida, USA. With over 60 years of customizing illustrations and designs unique to each and every client as I did with Sigma Aldridge, BlueCross And Blue Shield, Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's just to name a few. I look forward to all my experiences in my current body of work. I went to Washington University in St. Louis Missouri for art and went to St.Louis University for diagnostic cardiovascular medicine and earned a license and practiced for over 50 years while continuing to illustrate. My education also includes studies abroad at the Louvre Museum in Paris and special courses at the Sistine Chapel in Italy and of course my home land Greece.

  My interest in String Theory started in 1968. String theory is a theoretical framework in physics proposing that fundamental particles are not point-like dots, but rather tiny, vibrating one-dimensional "strings". These strings vibrate in 10 or 11 dimensions. These strings, each one existing and vibrating at the smallest possible limit of existence itself. The way those strings vibrate dictate how they manifest themselves. Famous artists have increasingly turned to quantum mechanics as a conceptual for creation. Historical masters like Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso explored similar themes of multiple realities.

I paint and draw multidimensional realities through transparent layers and cut aways. I combine microscopic, or embryonic imagery, mirroring my interest in surrealist and biological forms, reflecting an optimistic vision of the future with a a narrative impact.  

      Improvisation shapes my art and music. In performing music improvisation is the same as automatism is in art. Automatism is an artistic technique where an artist lets their hand move freely across paper without conscious thought, aiming to follow the impulse. It is the same with  improvisation in performing music. The message and outcome are the same, direct and immediate. I follow the impulse and God creates the art works and plays the music through me. "I am the conduit. I just show up!" 

My core practice of Post Photorealism blending with  Neo Surrealism is to access hidden creativity with intent to explore. This method involves various amounts of suppressing conscious control, allowing for unique patterns, shapes, and forms to emerge. This was developed by early Surrealists and musicians have used improvisation especially in jazz.  At 77 years old I contribute a life time of love with form and space. My art works will take you from Photorealism to Surrealism are a direct reflection of my view of our future. After I pass away you will always find me again in my paintings where I continue to live.
