I was born in Athens, Greece in 1974. I have a degree in graphic design and I love art. I started as a scale modeler 20 years ago and for the last 8 years, I have been working as a diorama and miniature artist. My dream is one day to see this artwork in museums introducing the art of miniatures all over the world. Maybe in this way, the world will seem more beautiful…
I have given many interviews in newspapers, radio, magazines, and social media in several countries such as Egypt, Poland, the USA, the UK, Germany, Greece, and Spain. I participated in many art exhibitions in Greece, the UK, Spain, and Italy. Also, I have written many articles in diorama magazines as a miniature expert in several countries: the USA, the UK, Spain, Greece, Germany, and Poland.

I started to make dioramas as a way to satisfy my desire for artistic expression. I particularly enjoy creating dioramas of abandoned places because they evoke a sense of emotion and atmosphere. Despite being deserted, these settings are full of character and feeling.
The amount of time it takes to complete each diorama can vary greatly. Some may only take a few weeks to finish, while others may take several months to complete. This is something that is unique to each individual diorama and can be affected by various factors such as the size, complexity, and level of detail required for the project.
My ultimate goal as an artist is for my audience to take away a range of emotions from my dioramas. I want my work to evoke feelings in the viewer and I hope that they will be able to share the emotions that I have put into each of my artworks. I want my dioramas to be an emotional experience for the viewer, one that they can connect with on a personal level and that they can relate to in their own way. I hope my work will leave a lasting impression on people and that it will inspire them to explore their own feelings and emotions.
As an artist who creates miniature dioramas, I would like to convey the message that these tiny worlds are simply a small representation of the larger world around us. Each diorama I create serves as a miniature snapshot of different aspects of our society and humanity. Some of my dioramas may depict the darker, more negative aspects of the world, while others may show the beauty and joy in life. Still, others may focus on the small, everyday details of life that often go unnoticed. But ultimately, these miniature worlds are simply a reflection of our own world, and the emotions, experiences, and stories that make it unique. They are a representation of our own world in a smaller scale, and I hope that by viewing my work, people will gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the world around them.
you're amazing and this is all so cool I wish I had a trillion dollars to buy all the awesome stuff in this world from all the amazing people that make all these incredible things, I NEED MORE ADJECTIVES!
Gorgeous! It makes me think of some of the homes in southern Spain.
This is my favorite. I love the vibes. It reminds me of a town I visit sometimes - tons of abandoned stores and factories built with red bricks, all with vintage designs. Giving me hella nostalgia
The moment I looked at this, I could instantly smell the mustiness of the antiques as I walked into the dimly lit, over-stuffed shop.
These are amazing, with such attention to detail, maybe too much detail on the dirty toilets and bathrooms though lol. They look so real x
In Chicago you can find diorama's in a museum. There used to live a rich lady in the late 19th century who loved them and therefore collected diorama's. After her death they became a part of the collection.

Yes!! I get embarrassed with myself when I fall down an AITA hole for an afternoon. This was quite rewarding!!
Load More Replies...All the abandoned and creepy dioramas were amazing. The artist really excells at making things dirty and old.
This is one time I found I couldn't comment on each one. I would have said the same things over and over: beautiful, amazing, stunning, perfect, so realistic, incredible, super detail, fascinating, so talented, I want to see a show of these, covered every type of architecture, etc, and so on and so on... Thanks BP for bringing this to us.
Very intricate stuff. But I cannot understand where there could be joy to look at or to make derelict loos and other broken things?
Oddly enough there are some people (myself included) who find an odd sense of ethereal beauty in some abandoned spaces. I think because they can let your imagination run wild and you can craft a story behind them.
