Art Market Magazine: Hello, Níkos! First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to talk to us. Here's what I know about you; You were born in Paris, and you are a French with Greek origins. You are a renowned figure on French TV and in France and Greece altogether. Having started your career as a journalist in 1993, you've gone beyond the profession's traditional boundaries and on to being a Radio presenter, writer, host and a producer. Have I missed anything?

Níkos Aliágas Nope, you've got them right! I would consider myself to be a curious man. I have had many interests along the way.

I don't believe in just having one job at any one time, and I enjoy exploring various activities. I've also always been into photography.

A.M.: You are very engaged with the Greek culture. In the past few years, you were awarded several important awards, including the MEDIA award given to those who stood in the field of communication for their invaluable offer in the spread of Greek culture and the diffusion of the Greek ideas, values , and spirit worldwide. In 2019 your work was exhibited at Christie's France with over thirty photographs for sale. You just came back from Cannes, where a significant collection is shown at the open-air Boulevard de la Croisette.
