During the pandemic lockdown poetry, literature and music became sources of inspiration and creation in conditions of confinement and insecurity. Concepts of the divine, mortality and survival in a new global normal were explored in order to express my artistic view. The result was my project "God Is A Bullet" that was inspired by Charles Baudelaire’ s “Flowers of Evil” poetry collection but in a totally different perspective.

The photographer who lives and works in Athens, Greece is recognized for exploring the abstract or form-focused, characterized by eroticism and inwardness capturing not only what is seen, but also the invisible, metaphysical side of things, he drives the viewer to seek and achieve emotional connection, transcending the limiting frameworks of space and time. Each image constitutes an autonomous universe telling a story that includes many readings. The human element is somehow always present, even when all it has left is its suggestive imprint.
