He attended painting classes at the Academy of Saint Luke in Rome (1868-1869) and returned to Corfu in 1870, after a trip to several countries around Europe. In his birthplace, he first taught at the private school Kapodistrias and later he founded a private Art School, which was attended by many prominent Corfiot painters, including Angelos Giallinas, Georgios Samartzis, etc.
Actively participating in the artistic life of the Greek capital, he presented his works in several exhibitions, such as the Olympia of 1875. He also took part in the 1878 World Fair in Paris and the Panhellenic Fine Arts Exhibition at Zappeion in 1888.
Influenced by European philhellenism, he created historical compositions inspired by the Greek Revolution. He also painted portraits and is among the first Ionian painters to depict genre scenes and landscapes, combining in his work the lessons of his Italian schooling with purely folklike elements. His artistic creation also includes certain religious themes, such as the paintings for the Greek Orthodox Church in Durrës.
