About the artist:
Kostis Damoulakis is a Greek visual artist who lives and works in Athens. A graduate of the School of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, over the past twenty years he has developed an artistic practice deeply influenced by his involvement in graffiti and tattooing, two disciplines that have lasting shaped his visual language, references and the very structure of his works.
Using painting as his primary medium, he composes distinctly contemporary creations that draw symbols from different artistic movements, cultures and eras. His work explores urban everyday life by placing the human body at the center of the composition, giving birth to a form of poetry of the banal and the ordinary. Through moving figures, street scenes and suspended moments, he captures the rhythms of city life and the subtle emotions that run through it.
His works are now in private collections in Greece and internationally, while his mural frescoes are visible in many cities around the world. He has presented his work in several solo exhibitions, including PET Projects (Athens), Neo Cosmos – Laboratory for the Urban Commons, Montana Gallery Barcelona (Spain) as well as Lola Nikolaou Gallery in Thessaloniki.
He has also participated in many group exhibitions in major institutions and art spaces, including the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, Hellenic Cosmos Cultural Centre, a.antonopoulou.art gallery, the Athens School of Fine Arts, and the Art-Thessaloniki International Art Fair (2018).
In 2022, he received the ARTWORKS prize and became a fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation artist support program, a significant recognition of his contribution to the Greek contemporary art scene.
Under the pseudonym Jamer, he also pursues a practice related to urban space. In 2024, he presents "Urban Life," his first solo exhibition on the island of Syros. Through bold forms, bright colors and poetic realism, this series features city dwellers in motion, resting or reflecting, paying homage to daily life and the deeply human dimension of the urban experience.
Between studio painting and mural interventions, Kostis Damoulakis thus develops a sensitive and contemporary body of work, at the crossroads of street art and modern figuration, where the body, the city and everyday life become the central elements of a visual narrative deeply rooted in his era.
