About
Vangelis Ilias
sculptor artist
Vangelis Ilias is an artist who bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern artistic sensibilities. His portfolio includes a wide range of sculptural works, but at its core is a deep exploration of human expression and the use of various materials to convey profound messages.
Ιlias' conceptual art enters a realm where the plasticity of the human figure takes center stage. His creations in this genre explore the multifaceted nature of human existence, with a strong focus on the anthropocentric perspective. Each sculpture becomes a conduit of self-expression, a raw and unfiltered manifestation of their inner world. His conceptual anthropocentric sculptures demonstrate his unyielding fascination with the complex nuances of human emotions, relationships and the human condition itself.
To create the sculptures, he conscientiously uses environmentally friendly materials, underlining his dedication both to artistic quality and to the protection of the natural environment. He is a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts. His artistic journey is marked by numerous exhibitions, honors in art competitions and collaborations with galleries. He works in his personal artistic workshop in Athens.
