Nikos Floros was born in Tripolis, Hellas. He grew up in Athens and has lived and worked in several major cities around the world. He studied
at the School of Fine Arts (Ecole des Beaux Arts) in Paris as well as classical piano and classical theater in Greece.

Nikos Floros has exhibited around the world and his sculptures are in museums and private collections.

Nikos Floros’ sculptural costumes are unique and original designs utilizing materials from everyday life such as newspapers and
aluminum cans which he transforms into fabric-like material used to create unique sculptural art. This method was created and patented by Nikos Floros in 2003.
