This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to be taken from https://konstantinosvaviloussakis.weebly.com/about.html.

Konstantinos Vaviloussakis is a contemporary Greek artist known for his provocative and surreal oil paintings that explore themes of identity, sexuality, and the human condition. Born in Chios, Greece, in 1970, he studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts, graduating in 1995, and later attended Central Saint Martins in London, focusing on magazine production and design in 2001.
His works often juxtapose eroticism with grotesque elements, employing modern technological codes against abstract backdrops to create a distinctive and evolving visual language. Vaviloussakis has presented his work in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Greece and internationally, including in France, Spain, Australia, and the Netherlands.
His paintings are part of prominent collections such as the Frissiras Museum in Athens, the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, and the Musée de la Publicité at the Louvre in Paris.

[edit]The article titled "Visard" from CultureNow.gr discusses the exhibition of Konstantinos Vaviloussakis's new work at the Thanassis Frissiras Gallery in Athens, which took place from January 24 to March 1, 2008. The exhibition delved into the uncanny, exploring themes of identity, masks, and transformation through a surreal lens. Vaviloussakis's paintings blended eroticism with grotesque elements, incorporating technological motifs against abstract backgrounds, reflecting a darkly poetic version of contemporary painting.
