About the artist

Fikos is a painter and muralist from Greece. At the age of 13, he started studying Byzantine painting in Athens. He invented “Contemporary Byzantine Painting” -a term and artistic style that is now being used by many artists around the world- and combines his traditional artistic style with contemporary thematics (like gender fluidity), techniques (like digital art), and art movements (like Neo-muralism). He has presented his work in 5 solo and many group shows, has exhibited in institutes such as Benaki Museum (Athens), Archaeological Museum of Milos Island, Fiminco Foundation (Paris), and the 1st Bienalle of Larnaka (Cyprus), and he has painted many murals all over the world. Among them, it is the largest mural in the history of Greek-Byzantine art (46m high), commission murals for the municipality of Versailles, and indoor murals at ETH Zurich University. His focus is on how traditional arts can revive and serve contemporary society.
