Exsekias Trivoulides was born in Port Said, Egypt of Hellenic origin. Due to the political situation in Egypt, his family was forced to leave the country and rebuild their lives in Athens-Hellas. Here, the young artist made frequent visits to the museums, monuments, and the rural villages and towns, where the union/fusion of nature and the ancient ruins fascinated him.
Exsekias's talent derives from a family history in the arts spanning three generations of painters resulting in an early exposure to the arts. He began to paint at the age of four and learned by observing his mother, father, and grandmother. After the death of his father, his mother remarried and his family moved to America. Here he continued to develop his craft following the fundamental principles of the Hellenic culture that surrounded him as a youth.
In 1992, after watching a documentary, which told the story of Michelangelo's struggle to successfully redefine himself as a painter, Mr. Trivoulides was inspired to explore sculpting as a new medium. In order to finance his education at George Mason University, he sought commission work as a mosaicist, muralist, sculptor, and interior designer. He has obtained from George Mason University, bachelor degrees in Art Studio and Art History with minors in Mediterranean Archaeology and Classics. While at George Mason, he was selected to an apprenticeship with the renowned American classical sculptor Michael Curtis. During his apprenticeship he assisted in the creation of the bronze death mask of Roger Stevens, the former director of the Kennedy Center for the Library of Congress.
Exsekias's portrayal of the human figure was greatly influenced by both classical, Hellenistic, Italian Renaissance and Victorian sculptors and painters. His sculpted human figures display a reverence for classical proportions while instilling a contemporary style that gives his work a refreshing spirit. His three-dimensional relieves are set in the background of decidedly modern geometric structures and abstract shapes with touches of bright neon colors and lights that define the shapes. His paintings and sculptures depict the human figure with the same dynamic lines, grace, harmony, balance and attention to detail.
Mr. Trivoulides' ability to fuse classicism with the contemporary allows his work to be appreciated by a wide audience. Both traditionalists and collectors looking for a new direction in art have become avid collectors of his work.

Exsekias Trivoulides is a European classical sculptor and painter, that deals with the human figure. His work has been extensively showcased in many events in the United States and Athens, Greece.
