I was born in Athens. I initially studied Computer Science and Networks, then later pursued Film Directing at the Lykourgos Stavrakos School of Film and Television. Immediately after, I continued my studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts under T. Christakis, focusing on printmaking with G. Milios and photography under M.Babousis. I subsequently completed two master degrees in Fine Arts at the same institution. My career spans theater and cinema, alongside work as a visual artist teacher in public education. I have participated in numerous group art exhibitions, and my writings have been featured in various publications over time.
