One of the most important Hydriot painters.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and completed his education at the corresponding School in Paris. For seventeen years he was the director of the branch of the School of Fine Arts in Hydra. From this position, but also as the curator of antiquities, he often intervened to prevent the invasion of modernist elements in the architecture of the island. Giving solutions to every building, urban planning, architectural problem that arose, he contributed decisively to the preservation of what was considered traditional.
