He has taught painting to children and adults and keeps his own studio in his home. He is convinced that painting and fine arts in general is not something you've learned and finished. The artist is in the process of learning and studying continuously. He is mainly involved in the painting of portable Byzantine icons of Cretan school and has been apprenticed by the iconographer Maria Soukouli (2014). In the period 2015-2016 he attended the Byzantine hagiography school of the Holy Metropolis Corinthos and had a teacher the Arch / Mrs Nektarios Bogiatzoglou.

He learned to fight for the development of his art by any means even alone. The Road is long and endless in art and will end with the artist. Forgive me those who consider me less talented than those and those who consider me better than them. I am nothing of them I am myself and I consider myself an artist and I will always pull my own way with the help of God and people. Finally, I would like to thank the teachers who gave me their knowledge, Maria Papantoniou and Maria Soukouli, the Arch / Makarios Bogiatzoglou, not only for what I learned / learn about painting and hagiography, but especially that you must love your art as yourself, do not let it go and do not be ungrateful and treat colors and people with kindness because what knowledge and technique if you acquire if you do not have courtesy to the people to whom your art is addressed? n you deserve to legesai artist humiliate even your most perfect creation because the soul mirrored in your work if you have problem with the work of a lifetime evaporated in an instant. It is the moment that you overestimated yourself and your art.
