Houtos has been making collage and honing his collage techniques for the last 30 years. In his brightly lit studio, he creates large format collages on prepared canvas. The architecture of the studio is typical of the Cyclades and Houtos generally keeps it neat, but visitors will\u00a0find dozens of magazines and photographs with images from the Byzantine era\u00a0that he\u00a0uses to create collages for his “Icons” series.<\/p>\n
