CV
Fotis Flevotomos is a painter whose work has largely been influenced by music. He is also a researcher with interests in the psychology of art and the relationship between music and painting. Flevotomos' dual interest in the spatial and temporal arts was developed at any early age due to the visual disorders of strabismus and nystagmus. Born in Athens in 1977, he is a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts, the Athenaeum Conservatory of Music and the University of Essex. His thesis Composing in Unison: Studies in Affinities between Some Musical and Pictorial Structures was published in 2009 by VDM Verlag. Alongside his pictorial and theoretical work Flevotomos is also active in the field of filmmaking. He has collaborated with musicians and visual artists on documentaries and music videos such as L'Atelier d'Antonis Lionis and Postcards. In June 2011, Flevotomos exhibited a series of drawings and watercolours at Mid-Manhattan Library in New York and spoke publicly about the effects of low vision on his art. His paintings have also been displayed at various spaces and galleries in Finland, Greece and Cyprus.
