About

Michel Devanakis is a contemporary figurative painter whose work explores the boundary between the real and the symbolic.

​

His practice unfolds across three interconnected dimensions: a conceptual inquiry into the notion of the Threshold, a personal trajectory shaped by movement across cultures, and a body of work that has gradually entered the international exhibition context.

​

Each of these aspects can be approached separately:

​

 The Threshold (thesis)    the ideas that structure the work

Biography the path that led to it

Exhibitions  where the work has stood in the world
