Vasilis Vasili is a Greek contemporary sculptor and visual artist based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Vasilis Vasili studied at The School of Fine Arts in Athens. In 1999 he received a scholarship from The Greek Foundation of Scholarships and one from the Onassis Foundation. He then moved to the United States. In 2001, he received a Masters of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He moved to Canada in 2013, where he currently lives with his family.
His work may be characterized by concerns and concepts such as entrapment, restriction, escape, gateway, separation and partition. The adaptation of the shapes and the character of the materials are in the service of the project's concept. He attempts to assign meanings, to correlate emotions and styles, to renew the tradition of conceptual and to puzzle over the aesthetics of the ordinary, "unsuspecting" object.
His sculptures are displayed in various cities across Europe, Turkey, China and North America and maybe viewed at vasilisvasili.com.
