Vasilis’s visual identity is widely associated with his long-standing collaboration with filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos. Their partnership began via a shared friendship with screenwriter Efthymis Filippou and evolved into a deep creative exchange.

For each film, Vasilis gains access to production stills and often visits the set to absorb the film’s atmosphere firsthand. His process is deliberately analogue and instead of relying solely on digital tools, he works with paper, scissors and printed photographs, cutting thousands of stills, recombining fragments, and building layered collages.

Vasilis’s typography process is strikingly physical and consistently experimental. Rather than rely on clean digital fonts, he likes to test how type behaves when pushed, stretched or disrupted by hand, sometimes printing letters on paper, wetting them so the ink blurs, then rescanning the results to create a raw, imperfect texture.

Used memorably for The Favourite, this approach gave the serif title a warped, uneasy quality that cut through the polished period setting. By treating typography as something malleable and alive, he turns lettering into mood – human, emotional and charged rather than purely functional.

Beyond cinema, Vasilis applies the same experimental, hands-on ethos to music and cultural projects, creating album covers, promotional visuals and immersive artwork that share the same emotional depth and conceptual rigour as his film work. Across mediums, his practice balances meticulous craft with intuitive, playful exploration, consistently transforming everyday materials and images into compelling, layered narratives.
