Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Earlier he completed studies in graphic design.
George has showcased his work in group and individual exhibitions and is currently involved in applied
arts such as book illustrations and theatrical costume design.
His painting reflects a morphological code influenced by comics, cartoons and random natural spiral

Through the looking glass & back again, so there!
