In the period 1993-1994 he visited as a guest artist the Centre for Research in Art and Science (KETE) in Athens, founded by the sculptor Takis, as a guest artist. The central axis of his visual work is the installations in space, which are activated by the viewer and explore his subconscious, decoding in images or sounds his fears, desires or memories.

His first solo exhibition took place in 1991 at the Loulaki Gallery in Hydra, followed by more than 25 solo exhibitions, while he has participated in many group exhibitions in Greece and abroad: among them the 5th and 6th Biennale of Young Artists of the Mediterranean (Spain 1990 and France-Italy 1992, respectively). In 1997 he represented Greece at the 47th Venice Biennale, where he was awarded the Benesse Prize for his interactive work Black Box. In 2005 he was awarded the "Art Athina 2 EMST" prize for the work Waterfall.
