Lazaros Pasdekis

Artistic background

I am a London based artist although I was born in Thessaloniki , Greece. My passion for painting and drawing has began at a very young age whilst I have been consistent with it and never stopped producing art work .

I am mostly self taught with some classical training and I am proficient in traditional painting and drawing media. I have a BA Hons in illustration and visual communication .

Through out my career , I have experimented and worked in various styles. From pencil drawings , comic book art both strips and cover pages , digital and traditional illustration , concept art, large mural paintings and contemporary fine art paintings. I am particularly experienced in large mural paintings whilst my main medium for murals is acrylic paint . Acrylic paint is rather convenient as it dries quickly whilst it's water based and thus does not produce and fumes . That makes it an ideal choice for indoor murals .

In the recent years I have been involved in various projects where live painting and theater performance are merged.

I have had 4 solo art exhibitions in the last 2 years while they have been affiliated with charity organisations .

I have been finalist in various competitions such as David Shepherd Wildlife artist of the year, been selected for the TV show sky portrait artist of the year and Chaiya Art Awards and much more.

I can replicate designs if it suits my style
