He arrived in Greece in 1988 and choose the island of Santorini - where he has been based ever since - for its stunning beauty and volcanic energy. His inclination towards art and architecture found an outlet in building and decorating, particularly in making furniture and remodeling interiors in the traditional Cycladic style. His paintings and famous volcanic sand sculptures have been sold all over the world since 1992.

His first gallery, “Opera Art Gallery”, in Oia-Ia opened in 2003, to house his own work and present selected artists, and has since attracted art lovers from all over the world.
