George is influenced by Messinian lush surroundings full of olive trees, as well as theimaginative work and creativity of other makers who hail from the same area. The self-taught artist brings common experiences, concepts, and emotions - love, dance, music, family-to life by combining wood, stone, and other natural materials with manmade ones, like glass and bronze.
