Manolis is an abstract artist and a life coach, seeking the connections between the two.
Manolis has an academic background in computer engineering and a career in research and innovation management. He has taught as a professor in educational institutions in Greece and abroad. He recently founded Innobatics, a startup specialising in Evolution through Innovation and is professionally active as an Evolution Coach, offering his services to people and businesses wishing to follow a path of conscious growth.
His inner need for understanding the world, led him to study the rules governing people and life in depth. He considers abstract art as one of the most prominent expressions of human creativity and imagination.
He adopts a heretic, inquiring, questioning and experimental approach to painting and art in general. He is performing a lot of research in order to understand how different types of colours interact, how they behave under several forms of processing, modification, adaptation, conversion, or under certain extreme conditions.
Influenced by some of the great masters like Rene Magritte, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Salvatore Dali, Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Paul Klee and JMW Turner, he is evolving with his own recognisable style.
Determined to contribute something new to art he is implementing innovative projects like the "live" paintings which constantly change their colours creating a sense of motion and a plethora of emotions. These paintings provide an alternative viewing experience with enhanced depth and complexity.
He has also created his own symbolic language often found in his paintings, usually in the form of a puzzle that asks to be solved.
Manolis is fascinated with life, art, science, technology, culture, music, harmony, big unsolved problems, maths, puzzles, chess, logic, intelligence, fun, humour, space, deep, macrocosm and microcosm, atoms, humans, animals, nature, brain, memory and all sorts of progress, creativity, innovation, research and any kind of invention!
He enjoys funny, strange, paradoxical, mathematical, geometrical, logical themes, encrypted messages, games, puzzles and any elegant solution to a tough problem.
