About
Nikos Zikos lives in Athens and is a photographer.
Very quickly he managed to leave his imprint in art, having created unique images that stand out, not only for their aesthetics but especially for the emotions and power they exude.
Photography is his own form of expression - with it he captures and creates images. For him it is the medium to reveal and highlight stories, to convey messages and to illuminate hidden folds of until that point unseen stories.
In 2018 he presented his first exhibition of portraits of people from Rwanda, Africa "Portraits from Rwanda" in collaboration with ActionAid. Thanks to the proceeds raised, a primary school hall was built in the village he had visited.
His second exhibition entitled "Eyes behind bars" which took place in 2020 at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, where 50 portraits of shelter dogs were presented, in collaboration with the "Save a Greek Stray" shelter. All proceeds from the exhibition were donated to the shaping of this particular shelter.
In its third personal project in 2021, "Behind the flame". made a series of documentary photographs of the athletes who participated in the Tokyo Olympics, he followed them through their preparation and captured the difficulty and pain of preparing a champion.
