Stelios Faitakis

Stelios Faitakis was raised in Athens and attended the Athens School of Fine Arts where his signature style was painting murals with these incredible gold backgrounds. He references many cultures in his work: Japanese, Brazilian, Mexican, Persian, Tibetan, and Eastern European. The technical complexity of his murals has developed to the point that it is difficult to paint them outdoors; however, he still paints outside. I think of all the worldly travels my friends Regina, Lorie, and Nena have done and I think they would appreciate his intricate color palette. I think his work is stunning.
