Currently, based in Cyprus, Giorgos is working continuously at his Studio. He undertakes private commissions for work; both at home and overseas; whether portrait, landscape, figurative or themed.
Recent work has been based on figurative monochromes in either pastels, watercolour; or combined; that are created to enhance the beauty of the female figure. It leaves it to your imagination as to whether the female is large/petite, shapely or slim.
