Born in Athens (1975), he trained in painting and printmaking at the Athens School of Fine Arts, completed a Digital Art Forms postgraduate program (2014), and earned his PhD from Panteion University (2021). His research integrates traditional printmaking with digital media, comics, and expanded artistic forms, exploring historical narratives through contemporary visual language.

His scholarly output examines intersections of historical art techniques and digital environments, exemplified by his 2021 publication on linear perspective in video games. This work reveals trends in applying classical visual principles to virtual spaces, contributing to digital art history and game studies.

As a freelance illustrator for De Groene Amsterdammer and creator of comics/zines since 2000, he maintains significant artistic output alongside academia. His works feature in public and private collections across Greece and internationally.
