About the Artist

He was born in a small village in the southern part of Greece, where from a young age he showed his talent by winning awards in the school art contests.

He graduated in Business but spent most of his time in art studios and the pop scene of New York in the 70’s. His heart was always in sculpture and painting. When he came back to Greece he opened his first gallery in Athens Hilton Hotel and started slowly selling his sculptures to an international clientele.

He kept a very low profile, exhibiting his work in a very modest way. It did not take long until other galleries in Europe and United States requested to exhibit his sculptures.

About his work

Apostol’s sculptures reflect the same magical simplicity, emitting at the same time a hymn to the joy of life. Sculptures of trees, sea life, music, they are all there for us to admire.

The collection “From ashes to new life”, made of bronze and thousand-year old olive tree roots, which the artist saved and picked up himself during a big fire that occurred in 2007 near his native land is a desperate call to our sensitive awareness of the destruction we have caused to nature.

His other work, “The Sea Collection”, is inspired from the admiration of Apostol for the Sea. Mythical mermaids come to life with his creations of crystal and bronze. Sea horses, Fishes, Mermaids and Octopuses represent all this magical wonder world of the deep blue.

A lover of music from a tender age, he also created a series of musical sculptures for sensitive music lovers, in corporating bronze and crystal together. Crystal represents the transparent flow of a soft melody reaching our ears. Bronze, the stronger material, symbolizes the great power of music that can make our life much more beautiful!

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." ~ MICHELANGELO ~
