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 through a practice that combines traditional techniques with digital processes.

Originally emerging from urban culture and graffiti, Pupet gradually developed a personal plastic language where figuration plays a central role. 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 corpus, marked by a distinctive aesthetic and a subtle use of color and structure.

For several years, the notion of grid has become a fundamental element of his creative process. First appearing in digital experiments intended to be transposed into 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 accident. This tension between geometric construction, minimalism, and pictorial expressiveness gives rise to dynamic compositions where tradition and innovation continually dialogue.

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

Exhibited in Greece and abroad, Pupet continues an evolving artistic trajectory, consolidating his place among the most distinctive Greek artists of his generation. His work, at the crossroads of figurative and conceptual, engages in current reflection on the image, its reproduction, and its transformation in the digital age.
