As far back as Floros can remember, he was always drawing and, as his father served in the army, he had an interest in military weapons and technology.
In 2009, this led Floros to test himself as to what was the most technical item he could draw, and that was guns; the “duality of it. The genius of the design behind it combined with the irony that it’s one purpose was to kill the thing that made it”, he says.
Working in charcoal (on paper) is the preferred medium for Floros and soon subjects of fire fighters, doctors, and girls in leather jackets with headphones emerged and accompanied the drawings of weapons; guns and knives.
