My name is Kyriakos Mauridis and my biggest interest is to write and create stories. For that purpose I have developed an interest on visual forms of art both digital and analog. Here you can see some of my works in comics, paintings and sketches but also in movies and video art, 3d modelling/animation, flash animations and illustrations for posters and covers.
My studies were on informatics (at the University of Patras, 1997-2003) and in digital arts (master at the Athens School of Fine Arts, ASFA, 2003-2005).
The last years I work mostly on comics (which i find is the medium most suitable for my storytelling) and paintings.
