Alexandros Vasmoulakis

Born in Greece in 1980, illustrator Alexandros Vasmoulakis expressed an interest in the arts at a very young age.  He went on to study painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts, and later attended the VSUP Academy of Arts in Prague.

Today Vasmoulakis’ work is divided into two main categories; indoor and outdoor figurative painting and fragile installations constructed out of objects such as trash, cement, CDs, and grocery carts.  His ability to work with such a wide array of media enables him to communicate, sometimes sardonically, about human troubles, desires, hopes and fears.  Much of Vasmoulakis’ work portrays an international perspective on these issues, strengthened through his time spent in Paris, Los Angeles and now Berlin.

However, this has not prevented Vasmoulakis from always maintaining a strong connection to Greece.  His passion for his hometown, Athens, coupled with his ability to connect to the political and social struggles of his people is represented through numerous character murals on buildings and street installations.

Vasmoulakis has, and continues to successfully represent his personality, experiences and opinion in his work while still leaving room for his audience to form their own interpretations. “Through my work, I want people to interpret whatever they feel, or get whatever they want,” says Vasmoulakis.
