About the artist:

Stelios Pupet (born 1983), known as Pupet, is a Greek contemporary visual artist who lives and works in Athens. A graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts, he has established himself as an important figure on the national and international art scene thanks to a practice that combines traditional techniques and digital processes.

Originally rooted in urban culture and graffiti, Pupet gradually developed a personal plastic language, where figuration occupies a central place. His work explores themes such as identity, memory, and the perception of reality, inviting the viewer to reflect on the human condition and the contemporary world. Paintings, installations, and urban interventions compose a coherent body of work, marked by a distinctive aesthetic and a subtle use of color and structure.

For several years, the notion of the grid has become a fundamental element of his creative process. First appearing during digital experiments intended to be transferred to screen printing, the grid gradually established itself as a conceptual and formal tool. Far from a rigid framework, it acts as a guide, structuring the image while leaving room for intuition and chance. This tension between geometric construction, minimalism, and pictorial expressiveness gives rise to dynamic compositions where tradition and innovation constantly converse.

His work is distinguished by a mastered fusion between academic painting, contemporary visual culture, and digital technologies. The figures he stages, often fragmented or reinterpreted through the grid, seem to evolve between materiality and dematerialization, between constructed image and deconstructed image. This ongoing search for new modes of expression testifies to a demanding experimental approach.

Having exhibited in Greece and abroad, Pupet continues a fully evolving artistic trajectory, consolidating his place among the most singular contemporary Greek artists of his generation. His work, at the crossroads of figuration and conceptual art, engages with current reflections on the image, its reproduction, and its transformation in the digital age.
