Vasilios draws inspiration from everyday objects, standardized products, and mass-produced items. By stripping them of their practical function and transforming them into attractive light sources, he allows viewers to reconnect with objects that evoke unique memories, experiences, or meanings for each individual. His works have been exhibited at the Benaki Museum and featured in both Greek and international press.
