The Venice Glass Week 2024
Yorgos has been selected to exhibit one of his masterpieces at the eighth edition of Venice Glass Week.
Eye of Reverence I is part of his Stratified Jewels series. Inspired by the amulets used against the ‘evil eyes’, these works were conceived as conveyors of good rather than for protection against evil. Conceptually abstracted, they promote ...
Pendulum of Attachment
Developing from the core tenet of the Stratified Jewels as conveyors of worthy concepts, values and attitudes, the 'Pendulum of Attachment' is an installation of 12 circular glass pieces hung on 3 chains in a stairwell of a house in Mayfair.
Flatten the Image
Inspired by the colours and imagery of Erik Madigan Heck's 2013 work ‘Without a Face,’ ‘Flatten the Image’ draws attention to the stratification in laminated glass art. While Heck is known for not digitally manipulating his photographs with adjustment layers, Yorgos's process always involves working in layers. These layers are meticulously combined and eventually flattened ...
Antarctica is calling
An artist needs inspiration. Don’t we all? Living is creating, so we are all looking for the artist inside ourselves. And what better way to get inspired than leaving the old roads you have travelled already? Take the advice that Rabindranath Tagore gave us and don’t just look at the sea; cross it!

“Maculated Memory” – a new essay
Art theorist, Dr Niki Katsaouni, wrote a dissertation on Ripples of Time under the title "Maculated Memory". Yorgos commissioned Dr. Nikki to write the essay because she knows his work very well. In 2008, in the capacity of Cultural Counsellor of the Republic of Cyprus to the United Kingdom, she organised an exhibition of the ...
New Website
We updated the Yorgos Studio website. Although the previous one wasn't that old, it needed freshening up. We completely designed and implemented the previous website in-house. Therefore it suffered from some of the defects that usually come with learning a skill. We hope you will enjoy the new layout. Let us know if something is not ...

As the work is made with fluorescent pigments, Radiant Dusk II will look entirely different when at night it will ...
