Part of interview on The Pink Snout magazine

HI George. could you tell us a bit about yourself, your
personality and your background? Where do you come from?

Hello. I am from Greece. I was born in Arta. I came to Athens for theatrical studies and since then, Athens has been my base. I work here as an actor, a casting director for commercials and feature films, and as a photographer.
Of course in reality, none of the above is true. I am an alien from planet Zea and I came to this world to torture and to be tortured.

What inspires you? Who are your biggest influences philosophically and artistically?

The circle of life. The value of silence. The naked gaze. The harsh reality. The ephemeral excess values.The manipulation. The adaptation. The crack. The inevitable decay.

How do you approach people to be featured in your photos to take their intimacy and what did you see in your subjects that qualified them as models?

Availability in exposure is an important factor. The gaze. Their hidden side. From there on, luck is what will bring us together. I also photograph whoever wants to be photographed. Out of curiosity. And then the process of seeing whatever I can in them and in me, begins. To blend our stories. To play. To become heroes. To kill or to get killed.

Your artworks have a haunting impact on viewers and your work makes people uncomfortable - is this your aim?

You flatter me. Thank you!
