Michael Camakaris is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice spans drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, ceramics, and new media.
His work is defined by bold graphic composition, layered mark-making, and a dynamic engagement with materials. Drawing on classical mythology – particularly Greek stories and symbolism – Camakaris explores enduring themes of power, identity, and transformation through richly narrative works. Mythological figures and motifs recur throughout his practice, often referencing cyclical narratives of light and darkness. This symbolic thread, woven across media, offers poetic reflections on human ambition, collapse, and resilience. Camakaris straddles the line between figuration and abstraction; his works are vivid, immersive, and rich in symbolic detail. They are both contemporary and timeless, bridging classical mythology with the visual language of modern art.
