About the artist:

Stelios Pupet (born in 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.

Originating from urban culture and graffiti, Pupet progressively 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 make up a coherent body of work, 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 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 accident. 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 of academic painting, contemporary visual culture and digital technologies. The figures he stages, often fragmented or reinterpretated through the grid, seem to evolve between materiality and dematerialization, between constructed image and deconstructed image. This constant search for new modes of expression testifies to a demanding experimental approach.

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