Teodosio

Shadow Artist

Born in Sukhumi, Abkhazia, in the Caucasus region, Teodosio is a self-taught shadow artist.

Using material, light, and shadow, he constructs individual or multiple objects, arranging them to form a sculptural composition. By sculpting the objects, he creates an effect that corresponds with the projected shadow, using a single light source integrated into his work. The complete artistic creation is revealed in the shadow when the light is turned on. His works consist of both the solid materials that shape the sculpture and the intangible elements of light and the shadow it produces.

Teodosio is one of the few artists worldwide who engage in the art of shadow sculpture. His works are exhibited in the Paradox Illusion Museum in New York, Paris, London, Mumbai, Shanghai, and Berlin, as well as in private collections in Greece and abroad. His pieces have been featured in print and digital media internationally.
