Not yet forty years old, Nikos Moschos is a painter with a dynamic “handwriting,” a recognizable idiom, and an intense presence both in Greece and abroad — and now, a retrospective exhibition has come to seal his artistic course.
The impressive exhibition of N. Moschos at the Basilica of St. Mark—organized by the Region of Crete and co-organized by the Municipality—is a major “point of attraction” for Cretans as well as for Greek and foreign visitors.
The striking exhibition of well-known Heraklion painter Nikos Moschos, held at the Municipal Art Gallery of the Basilica of Saint Mark and organized by the Region of Crete with the Municipality of Heraklion as co-organizer, has become a “magnet” for Cretans as well as Greek and foreign visitors.

Interview by Zeta Tzioti
Nikos Moschos, sensitive to contemporary socio-political structures and inequalities, approaches his artistic practice in a sarcastic yet allegorical way. In his works, human flesh is distorted; machines, cars, musical instruments, and ruins of newly built structures are crushed.
The mixture of disparate elements and the borderline deconstruction of forms compose the image of his work. The study of the subject matter and the use of preliminary sketches are evident and absolutely necessary due to the density of his visual language. Elements from comics, mythology, religion, antiquity, the Renaissance, modernism, and other lived experiences are his sources of inspiration.
We met the artist in his studio in Neos Kosmos, where he finds inspiration and creates, and we talked extensively.
