Nikos Moschos was born in 1979 in Heraklion, Crete. He studied at the Athens School of Fine
Arts (1997- 2003). He lives and works in Athens.

Moschos is famous for his allegoric scenes presenting the adaptation procedure in new
conditions, the idea of continuous transition, the reconstitution of material
(Metamorphosis), notions and consequently of human mentality. His compositions are not
taking place in a specific place or time, but they constitute aspects-incidents placed in a
universal narrative, based on an effort to adapt in a continuously modifying condition.
This theme is developed around individual thematics-occasions which have preoccupied
artists for centuries now like, fear of death, love, vanity, authority imposition as well as
subjects that concern humanity the last two centuries such as collective unconscious, and
relationship between man and technology.

His main influences are byzantine painting, medieval illustrated manuscripts, Hieronymus
Bosch, Brueghel, Tintoretto, Goya, the painters of New Objectivity( Otto Dix, Beckmann),
Ronald Kitaj as well as the universe of film makers such as Tarkovsky’s, Stanley Kubrick’s etc.
He has had ten solo shows and more than a hundred group shows, in Greece and abroad
such as Basel, Barcelona, Milan, Palermo, Genova, Beijing, Istanbul, Brussels, Vienna, New
York, Berlin and others.
