YORGOS
Born in Germany, my Greek parents named me Yorgos, meaning ‘farmer’. Growing up alternatively in Germany and Greece, I finally chose England to complete a master in art and design. Following various employments in business and digital marketing, I am currently working as a motion Graphic designer in London.
My multi-cultural upbringing, dark materialism, gender inequalities, fear, and uncertainty in our world in crisis has inspired my work on human complexity. Rather than focusing on cognitive justifications and expressions, I follow human gestures, taking physical interactions as signs for meanings, emotions, and relations. The moral and emotional qualities of human beings are embodied and emerge through the movement of the body and its interaction with space. The bodies are naked, which enhances its distance from socially constructed views of class, distinction, beauty, and sexuality.
