Studied stage direction at the Stavrakos School and then Visual Arts, Aesthetics, Technologies and Artistic Creation at the University of Paris VIII-Vincennes (Maitrise, D.E.A.), as an Onassis Foundation grant scholar. He continues with cultural and humanitarian studies (1999-2000) at the London Consortium (Birkbeck College, I.C.A., A.A.). He is professor of Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens. He practices sculpture. He uses materials such as wood, felt, plywood, artificial leather and ready-made objects in his work, examining the psychological transitions of the human being in a constantly changing world in which estrangement prevails, as well as insecurity and dissociation. In this way sculpture becomes a means of understanding but also a tool for the introspection of external reality, via the artist-mediator\u0026rsquo;s ascetic and melancholy gaze. Velonis appropriates the codes of modernist design, crossing it with elements of European and Arabic folklore, suburban domestic aesthetics and architecture, plus an ideological and utopian language of the avant-garde of the early 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c/sup\u003e century.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHe has exhibited his work internationally in important group and solo exhibitions (Biennale de Lyon, 2007, Brussels Biennial for Contemporary Art, 2008, Athens Biennale, 2009, \u003cem\u003eLoneliness on Common Ground: How Can Society Do What Each Person Dreams,\u003c/em\u003e National Museum of Contemporary Art, 2010, Thessaloniki Biennale, 2011 et al.).

Studeerde regie aan de Stavrakos School en vervolgens Visuele Kunsten, Esthetiek, Technologie\u0026euml;n en Artistieke Creatie aan de University of Paris VIII-Vincennes (Maitrise, D.E.A.) als een beursstudent via de Onassis Foundation. Hij studeert verder in culturele en humanitaire studies (1999-2000) aan het London Consortium (Birkbeck College, I.C.A., A.A.). Hij is professor architectuur aan de National Technical University van Athene. Hij houdt zich bezig met beeldhouwkunst. Hij gebruikt materialen als hout, vilt, triplex, kunstleer en kant-en-klare voorwerpen in zijn werk waarin hij onderzoek doet naar de psychologische verandering van de mens in een constant veranderende wereld waarin vervreemding, onveiligheid en afscheiding toonaangevend zijn. In dat opzicht wordt beeldhouwkunst een manier om dingen te begrijpen maar ook een tool voor een zelfbeschouwende kijk op de externe realiteit via de melancholische en ascetische blik van de artiest-tussenpersoon. Velonis maakt gebruik van de opvattingen van het modernistische design die hij combineert met elementen uit de Europese en Arabische folklore, voorstedelijke huishoudelijke esthetiek en architectuur, aangevuld met een ideologische en utopische taal uit de avant-garde van het begin van de 20\u003csup\u003ee\u003c/sup\u003e eeuw. Hij heeft zijn werk internationaal tentoongesteld in belangrijke individuele en groepstentoonstellingen (Biennale de Lyon, 2007, Brussels Biennial for Contemporary Art, 2008, Athens Biennale, 2009, \u003cem\u003eLoneliness on Common Ground: How Can Society Do What Each Person Dreams,\u003c/em\u003e National Museum of Contemporary Art, 2010, Thessaloniki Biennale, 2011 et al.).
