Pata Slab: the ultra-heavy optimism we all need in 2020

I’is the type equivalent of a catwalk stomp down a city sidewalk, a font that’s assertive, funky and more than a little sexy. Named after a colloquialism for ‘feet’, Pata features ultra-heavy slabs and contrasting hairline centers that rise from its chunky footprint. The resulting, retro-inspired vertiginous curves add instant attitude to any design.

The graphic examination “Bubblegum Aftermath” creates an atmosphere of frivolous joy yet dystopian melancholia. It evokes a glitch-like feeling contrasting vibrant colors with sharp, pointy edges. Like the moment when a bubblegum’s sweetness dissolves leaving you with artificial nothingness.

a spectrum describes the distribution of colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) produced when white light is dispersed by a prism or diffraction grating – also it is the range between two extreme points.
In this series I show which colors can be found in a color spectrum defined by me and how many variations there are within each color. The photos are taken from my archive.

-Spring: Light green; sprouts.
-Summer: green; growth.
-Autumn: yellow; harvest.
-Winter: blue; covered with snow.

The work “A is red and S is yellow” is my personal examination of the subject of colours. Because I have synesthesia – since I can think. For me, colours are essential, they are everywhere – when I read, when I speak, when I listen to music and when other people talk to me. All letters, numbers and characters have a special colour. This creates an individual code of colours in my head. This work shows the translation of the sentence „Man‘s mind is his world“ into colours. On the one hand it is visualized that my thoughts are “colourful” and not colourless. On the other hand I would like to draw attention to the fact that people‘s thoughts have the power to shape the world and society.

“The word “praxis” in Greek is used in reference to mathematical calculations but also to human actions. This is no coincidence but evidence of the close interconnection of people and numbers.
At Piraeus Bank, fully aware of this connection and focused on the values that inspire us, we operate with absolute integrity and consistency.
All of our actions are related to people and we shape our activities for the future with people at the center of all activities. So that we can be by their side, in “praxis”.

Apropos documenta was a series of events regarding documenta and organised by Goethe-Institut Athen.

We decided to use the overprint technique in order to reflect and point out the sequence. Every time the color changes, the previous date has been struck through.

Every time you feel sad stick a white dot, every time you feel happy stick a coloured one!

Whiten away your sadness and let your happiness burst in colours.

This analog interactive poster helps you forget the bad and focus on the good.

“A new day for the world. Scheduled to last 24 hours, destined to be the day after yesterday, the day before tomorrow. Rising with new light, new colours. And a new century for Piraeus Bank. One hundred years of such new days, successive beginnings every 24 hours, whose colours set the tone and chart a course that is steady, a bright course – almost dazzling. And tomorrow, we will be here again, full of admiration for whatever dawns, ready to start the next day, the next future.”

KNIT is a fictional techno party made with some experimental type and industrial layout. The aim was to create a poster bold enough to speak the techno without listening.

Perianth = the receptacle, is the whole that encloses the reproductive parts of a flower, the encasement.

The hotel is located in a district famous for its flower shops, a place which holds the history of the surrounding area. The corporate identity is based on an artwork that comes from the blending of characteristic Greek images, such as the Acropolis, the colourful signs, the Evzones, the statues. It is about the feelings of a traveller going back home. Pictures, information, memories, emotions that flood their mind to create a single image.

Elevsis – Transition – Path
Elevsis derives from the verb ελεύθω = to come/to arrive. Through its myth, Elevsis means the arrival of a significant event, which indicates the beginning of spring. It is the place of arrival, the coming, presence and revelation. ‘Iera Odos’ (‘Sacred Way’) is the route that started from Athens and ended at the Demeter temple in Elevsis, which in the ancient times was named ”Elevsiniaki”.

This route signals the transition, the arrival, the emergence, the realization, the birth, the awakening, the coming and it becomes the inspiration and the symbol of 2023elevsis identity.

A poster designed for the exhibition “Stay Home Creative |||” The participants’ task was to create feel good posters during the period of isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The posters for summer outdoor concert series visualize the colorful summer heat vibe and the electronic music beat. The image of the musician melts into a collage of color abstractions. Music is the melting pot; a space where variety of races, cultures, or individuals blend together in the same rhythm. Let’s melt with the music!

It’s interesting how dogs see the world. I have always imagined they smell colors, therefore people must smell a certain palette, maybe just one particular shade of color.
Recently I have been missing my dog a whole lot, and I miss imagining what I look like for it, what I might be in its eyes. For me, it’s easy to say:
I love my dog, my Butch, o doggo, o my, o my only.
