“For me, there is no particular recipe for a creation or perception in any medium. If I found myself trapped in a specific process, my works would destroy themselves through repetition. Constantly searching for new ways to create expression keeps my works, as well as the artist, fresh.”

Noel Dimitrios Stavropoulos was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1972.
