BIOGRAPHY

 

Argiratos Efthimis graduated with great honours from the School of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Thessaloniki. He has already taken part in group exhibitions in Greece and abroad. His first professional steps were next to his father in various Greek Orthodox temples where he learned greek traditional painting. That honed his skills and matured his painting style. Alongside his educational capacity in recent years, he also operates in creating artworks, engravings on wood, comics, book illustrations, composition and music production for documentaries and any kind of films in general. As of this day, digital art holds his interest. He is the creator of "Digital Art Scenography in Real Time”, in short D.s. A.r.t. This is a new form of scenography. The atmosphere in any theatrical play is composed and formed entirely from the artist's perspective through projection while drawing in real-time with digital media tools.
