I was born on September 27, 1990, in Larnaca, a small town in Cyprus. My love of wood started in childhood when I spent a lot of time crafting small wooden constructions and artworks. My father nurtured my interest in handmade art and influenced me, as he deals with colours and aesthetics as an icon painter.
I created my first handmade pipe in 2016 when I found an old smoke pipe forgotten in the attic. Handcrafting that relatively simple first pipe inspired me to start designing, curving and hand-painting unique wood pipes. It was then that I realised that although I had the ambition and the capabilities to craft the pipes, I had to learn new ways and techniques!
So relatively early, I started taking part in exhibitions to broaden my horizons. In this way, I meet great artists, collectors and pipe lovers who help me develop my work and inspire me further to master my art.
Every year, I participate in exhibitions in different parts of the world, which allows me to spread this beautiful art in as many places as possible!
