Stelios Pupet, a figurative painter based in Athens, Greece, studied at the prestigious
Athens School of Fine Arts. His work is known for its unique blend of figuration and  geometric abstraction. Pupet employs a grid system as the foundation for his creations, both on canvas and murals. These initial uniform blocks transform through his process, morphing into dynamic, angular shapes that add depth and structure to his primarily figurative compositions. Often, his subjects, frequently women's forms, are depicted crouching amidst plants or curled in contemplative postures, all subtly distorted by the underlying grid. This interplay between order and dynamism reflects Pupet's embrace of a spontaneous artistic approach, where the creation unfolds organically during the process itself.
