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 a prominent figure on the national and international art scene thanks to a practice that combines traditional techniques with digital processes.

Originating from urban culture and graffiti, Pupet gradually developed a personal visual 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 comprise a coherent body of work, marked by a singular 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 during digital experiments intended to be transposed into screen printing, the grid has progressively 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 expressivity gives rise to dynamic compositions where tradition and innovation constantly dialogue.

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

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