Hi , my name is Pavlos Niaouris ,52 years old and I am a Pro stone carver and fireplace maker .
I have been studying Psycology at the Univercity of Padova ( Italy ) , but never finished , as krafts were always my favourite campus .
So I started working with a fireplace maker as an assistant , and soon I was making the marble/stone carving .
Next step was decorative carving on fountains and building restoration work , and actually I work at the Acropolis of Athens Restoration Project .
I always hesitated to make other than architectural members as I thought I wasn't able to expres myself by carving so I used to practice photography for this purpose .
This Summer I had lots of time , space , white stone ,
my tools and the mood , and started to carve faces . The result was encouraging and I was fashinated by the process , so I think of making less photography and more carving .
I work without a model , directly on the stone and use imaginery and memory are of great help together with an effort to keep it symmetrical and ballanced .
