About the artist:

Stelios Pupet (born 1983), known as Pupet, is a contemporary Greek 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 practice that combines traditional techniques with digital processes.

Originally rooted in urban culture and graffiti, Pupet gradually developed a personal visual 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 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 in digital experiments intended to be transposed into serigraphy, 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 expressivity gives rise to dynamic compositions where tradition and innovation constantly dialogue.

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

Exhibited in Greece and abroad, Pupet continues an evolving artistic trajectory, consolidating his place among the most singular Greek artists of his generation. His work, at the crossroads of figuration and conceptual art, sits within a current reflection on the image, its reproduction, and its transformation in the digital era.
