Designer Interview

21 July 2024

I studied Architecture and Urban Planning and received the degree of Master Engineer Architect. On the levels of Ph.D. D.Sc. and Full Professor (Belvedere Professor) I studied Art. For me design is a way of presenting philosophical issues in a way that they can be perceivable by human senses. In the context of such possibilities I always wanted to be a designer.

I don't have a design studio, just individual practice.

Design is a way of presenting philosophical issues in a way that they can be perceivable by human senses.

Works that are pointing out the way that nature and universe is buildt.

My most favorite designs are the creations of nature.

No favorite material, but favorite being behind creation - mathematics (Logos)

When I am freed from other responsibilities.

Exploring new territories.

I am happy.

Form and Meaning.

Make progress in the exploration how the universe is buildt by the means of art, science and technology.

Progress in the exploration how the universe is buildt by the means of art, science and technology.

Last exhibition: International Print Triennial in Krakow 2024. Next exhibition: at the Twelfth International Interdisciplinary Symposium on Art, Science and Technology MEDEA 2024 Pentamychos" www.medea2024.eu

Mathematics (Logos) and Physics (Nature).

Simplicity and aesthetics in articulating ideas from the field of Philosophy of Nature.

I live in Szczecin, Poland. I am both Greek and Polish. I like living in this part of the world and I think it is a big luck that is making possible to think beyond survival.

In collaboration.

To select a designer because of what he does and trust him.

Mindfulness, exploration, experiment, mixing things, getting out of routine, focus science and technology, focus on natural phenomena.

Computer, monitor, printer, 3d printer and telephone.

Which day?

Do what you love.

It is positive to be a designer.

Golden ratio.

Sense of beauty.

At this point: Mandelbulb 3d, Midjourney, Gen 2, Chat GPT, Suno, Google Translator, Adobe Master Collection, Inkjet Printer, 3d Printer, Arduino environment and more.

With difficulty.

That varies and also there is not obvious end.

How are things going?

Full Professor

The audience.

The design works that are associated with the philosophy of nature, because I like the exploration of the way our universe is buildt.

To explore new territories and reach places that have never been visited.

I develop my designs myself.

Playing with the possibilities of artifitial intelligence in the visual and sonic fields.

By email.

By moving on the ocean of information in the mathematical universe we are in the situation of explorers, who were sailing out on the sea and discovering new lands.
