Watercolor media is his preference technique last years and loves Plein Air painting.
The colour gives the opportunity to the artist to capture the changes between light and shadow, but also to reflect their impact on nature’s colours and the wealth of their shades, capturing the expressiveness of the creator himself, his feelings and his thoughts on his painting’s theme.
In his landscapes, Selios shows the expectation of the rain, the expressiveness of the cloudy sky, the light that goes through the leaves and colours the environment with its warmth, the magnificence of traditional architecture, the changes of the seasons.
