Born in Brussels of Greek parentage, I set up base in Berlin, where I fell in love both with the city and with my one and only, my partner in life and Tweedle.

​

My love for performance, theatre and film got me studying and working as a stage, set and costume designer but my passion for illustration and comics notwithstanding put me on the path of working more professionnally as an illustrator, graphic and comic artist.

​

In the last couple years I have published a few comics and zines (self-publishings Tweedlecomix Ink.).

Titles include « Lampsi », « Nostos », and « Mneme », which refer to a (yet) non-existent auto-fictional graphic novel about memory and identity; and the light-hearted Tweedleologies about our sweet and funny twin cats, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. My work can be seen in a couple anthologies by the  BilderbergKonferenzBerlin Underground Comix collective, and in the KINQ* anthology published by Moom Comics -- *a documentary comic that explores fetiches and kinks within the queer community.

​

I work principally in black and white, using ink on paper and then reworking digitally. I Like creating create high contrasts with deep blacks and a rough, nervous, and expressive line work. I can of course work with colour, usually if it is specifically required. 

 

I have fun mixing media and playing around with the space of the object and surface of the page, letting the reader discover new non-linear narratives and interpretation levels, making the reading experience more immersive, sometimes even interacting physically with the comic (probably a distorsion stemming from my theatrical background).
