Greek
Stathis
Karabateas lives on Milos, a small island in the Aegean sea.
His work has been featured in “Space Jam”,
“The Magic Sword” and for Warner Brothers feature animation,
“Rugrats Go Wild”
"As long as I can remember I was always in love with the world
of the fantastic. Fantasy is not a lie, it is a language, the way
that the child in us has, in order to communicate and play, a way
to uncover its hidden truths.
My work is based around mythology, spirituality and anything that
would stimulate the sense of wonder of this little magician.
I believe that to be able to create worlds on a piece of paper
is a gift from the spirit, something to be grateful for."
