Sonke was born in Athens in 1984. He found immense pleasure in painting and drawing, and grew up knowing he wanted to be an artist. He studied applied art and has worked as drawing / sketch teacher at the Community Center of Amarousio. At first, Sonke preferred to sketch cartoon themes or just leave his tag on the walls. Later on, he started painting more concrete themes like flowers or square headed little people influenced by cubism. Finally, inspired by love, he found his favourite and most recognized painting style, with the famous curvy girls with big eyes and long curly hair made of spirals as a main theme. His lines are clean, almost naïve, with black and white contrasts combined with minimal chromatic interference. He has given solo exhibitions (Exhibitions: 26/6/2019 Kapopoulos Fine Arts Mykonos Gallery, 19/3/2020 Kapopoulos Fine Arts Nicosia Gallery) and has also participated in group exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad (France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Austria, Turkey and the Americas)
