Happy 2010 Easter
[Olekasasi, Nairobi, Kenya]
In some cultures, eggs play an important role in Easter celebrations. The following painted ostrich egg was just recently completed as a commission.
For those who are curious about this particular craft, it can take any where from 10 days (7 hours of continuous work) to 30 days (or longer) in order to complete an egg. It involves very detailed and delicate dexterity.

Welcome to Theo Online
Thank you very much for visiting my new and improved website. I was born in Uganda to Greek parents. My life has been spent mostly in East Africa (Uganda, Kenya) where I started painting as a young child. My art was influenced from living in the Bwindi Forest (also known as the Impenetrable Forest by others) for 18 glorious years.
My short stint in Art college made me realise that this mode of “formal” education was not meeting my needs as an artist. Hence I’ve decided to take a leap of faith and create my own style, which I feel is vibrant and alive yet highlights my passion for all things relating to conservation and nature. 
I’m equally at home painting on cloth, ceramics, water colours, canvas, murals on tiles, and recently ostrich eggs. I like to be versatile in both my media and subject matters. As such, I’ve created many commissioned works for large corporations and hotels.
If you’d like me to create an original work of art for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me using the link above.
Finally, many thanks go out to Pat Maxwell (aka Max The IT pro) for overhauling my website — using the latest web technologies (WordPress, ZenPhoto, MySQL, HostGator, social networking, etc.) — so that I can showcase my artwork to the global village. Please visit my online gallery when you get a chance!
