Vassilis A. Poularikas was born in Athens. He studied photography at European School of Photography and attended art seminars with Plato Riveli as a member of the Photographic Cycle in Athens, as well as the photographic workshop of Nikos Ikonomopoulos.
His photos have been published in Greek and foreign magazines and newspapers. He has participated in group and solo exhibitions. As he says, without a second thought, photography is the ideal (but not the only) mean of connecting him with the parallel realities of human existence. Hence photography helps him to balance the contradictions of his life.
