Drawing inspiration from nature, the animal kingdom, Ancient Greece and mythology, Spiros Contoulis began to create sculptures, focusing on the interest in horses, using objects such as: sea wood, dried bones, plastics, metals, cords and ropes, which he discovers along the sea shores.

Contoulis is interested in composing his works using recyclable materials – mainly metals, and in some cases his work consists exclusively of materials that society finds unwanted and unnecessary. His work has been presented in many exhibitions in Greece and abroad.

His works are in private and public collections in Greece and internationally.

Contoulis was born in Larissa in 1971. Today he lives and works in Greece.
