He began his studies at the Cretan Byzantine school of icon painting and at the same time was experimenting with various ways of painting, as well as studying them.( icons, frescoes, paintings, portraits etc. ) Always experimenting, he traveled for some time as a seaman in ships throughout the world. He extended his experiences and art techniques studying icon painting at the Mount Athos and other parts of Greece. Sometime later his dwellings stop.  He return back to Crete got married and sets up his own icon painting workshop. During his pursuits he got a great knowledge of wood and woodcarving,
He often created complicated and intricate woodwork to accompany his icons, giving them uniqueness. He almost always uses mahogany for his icons or old wood which he seeks, finds and restores. In his restoration he follows the shape and the water marks of the wood and creates the icon giving shape to the saint or the overall picture of the icon. He has created icons / frescoes for a large number of churches throughout Crete. Base of paints: avgotempera (egg yolk, vinegar and dry paint). Cloth: Campoto / cotton.
