The Creator

"By carving the mind and letting the heart guide the hand, the form of the wood and the soul of man are revealed"

My name is Michael Arvanitis and I have been a woodcarver since 2013. I was inspired and studied under Panagiotis and George Thanos, who specialize in carved furniture, and the contribution of Bekos Panagiotis, an excellent church wood carving artist, is also important in my course. Since art also functions as a biological mirror, my place of origin and activity, Santorini, a place with many churches and chapels, simple and unpretentious examples of traditional architecture with ornate wood-carved iconostases, has a great influence on my artistic expression.
