Fikos is a 28-year old Greek artist, who combines hagiography and street art, producing original works of art that decorate many walls in European cities and museums. His new solo exhibition entitled Fallen Angels is currently on display at the Galo Art Gallery in Turin, Italy, until February 28.

Fikos was born in 1987 in Athens where he still lives. From a young age, he painted whatever he saw around him, such as comics, landscapes icons and more.

At the age of 13 he started studying Byzantine painting under the guidance of George Kordis, with whom he also collaborated professionally for 5 years painting murals in Orthodox churches, while at the same time developing his own personal painting style.

Besides Greece, his work has been exhibited in France, Bulgaria, England, Ireland, Ukraine, Austria, Lithuania, Switzerland, Norway and Mexico, in exhibitions and museums, television and radio and in private and public places.
