Originally a sculptor, Theopsy was first discovered by Romeo Gigli who wrote for his work: "a perfect example that it is the soul that encloses matter and not the contrary." From his real home made bomb displayed as an art object at the Palais de Tokyo, to his large inks and murals, scrolling through his writings, musical compositions and social involvement, Theopsy is considered as one of the key figures of the Greek Renaissance and one of the most prolific and diverse artist of his generation.
