Aristides Balanos

Born in Athens Greece, he grew up beside the sea. Raised by an artist, he began exploring different media at an early age. With his focus on industrial design he received a degree in Engineering in 1988. He has worked in Berlin and Paris and returned to Greece in 1995. While on the island of Santorini, inspired by the powerful currents of the Aegean and the shifting winds his dramatic seascapes and majestic ships are a testament to the enduring relationship of humans with the sea. For the past years he exhibited his work in Santorini and in Athens. Aristides Balanos lives and works in Montreal since 2004. His work can be found in private collections worldwide.
