"I took my first photo in June 1978, in Paros. There was a teenager who was eating greedily a piece of watermelon. A teenager myself, I was carried away by her beauty. A decade later, looking at that photo again, I realized that I had actually been carried away by her original audacity for life. It was just then that I realized that photography is not merely a picture, but mainly energy.

I love to photograph the man. The bet for me is to manage to portray the man’s emotions, his energy so that all these can be understood even by the most indifferent viewer. ….In 1988 my journey to the US started. .. In 1995 I found myself in Asia which had been my photography love for the next three years. My gothic era found me exploring and photographing both the North but also Central Europe. I won’t speak about the Mediterranean, which is anyhow the love of any photographer, but I will talk about Greece, the light and energy of which cannot be found anywhere in the planet. …I derive my inspiration from the study of philosophy and the quest of metaphysics.
