-Wake first came into touch with art at the age of 14.Being a citizen of thessaloniki,where graffiti had blossomed since 1995,he had already been inluenced by many older writers,mostly developing 3d letters and wild styles.
1998-2001 was his period of pure graffiti,as a member of his first crew,CNA.At the same time,wake joined SMA (street magic art),one of the oldest graffiti crews in Greece.This is when he first got down to bigger walls,more detailed productions and collaborations.

2003 was the year of his first touch with architecture.The designing part,such as the classes of art’s history,changed wake's perspective towards his creations.Traditional graffiti still remained a main basis,but additional elements came up to fulfill his general perspective towards street art.
Since then,architectural projects,canvases,walls,animations or logos,seem to have a common influence wich may result into a personal style,expressed randomly in any type of expression.
Till now,as a member of 2A crew,wake is still trying to ''blend and combine'' his graffiti obsessions into constructive forms,resulting in an urban way of manipulating his creations.
