In 2010- 2011, he was awarded a grand by the Cyprus Ministry of Education for the Glogauair Residency Program in Berlin. His most recent solo shows in Berlin include: Everyone Should Walk (2011) at Salon Populaire, On Handling Considered As One of the Fine Arts (2011) at Kreuzberg Pavilion and I Am Going To Have To Disappoint You (2011) at Altes Finanzamt.
