Alexander the Great

Portrait of Alexander the Great made from yellow and black linen threads.

Born in Thessaloniki (1962).I started working as a textile designer from the age of 15, since i followed my father's footsteps.My first introduction with micro-weaving was 2,5 years ago when i attended lessons with my tutor Natassa Fokianidou and fell in love with it.

My 40year experience from my profession combined with this new knowledge resulted in creating accurate portraits of famous people and other patterns as well.

On April 2019 i took part in Lamamart exhibition held in Piraeus bank conventional center.
