About the Artist

Born in Nicosia, Paris Sivakas honed his craft at the Athens School of Fine Arts under the mentorship of legendary figures like Dimitris Mitaras and Yannis Moralis. His work is celebrated for its impeccable draftsmanship, subtle tonal transitions, and a unique philosophical depth. Influenced by ancient Greek art and the evocative Fayum portraits, Sivakas developed a distinct language that seamlessly blends realism with profound symbolism.
