CFO and Manager / Art Dealer
I am a firm believer that art and beauty in our living spaces have a great impact on our health, energy, wellness and productivity.
An art dealer, specialized in Salvador Dali limited edition sculptures and prints, and a representative for a natural stone and porcelain lab in Verona, I aim to bring beauty to our living spaces through works of art and design. Beauty, in the deeper sense of the ancient Kallos, is what I seek in my proposals to my partners.
Engineer by formation, I have a background in business management as CFO of a multinational commercial group, in the M&A and Corporate Finance sector as well as as in process analysis and change management.

Creative Director and Brand Designer
Evgenios Gavriel is a Cypriot Creative Director and Brand Designer working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, visual culture, and strategic brand systems. His practice focuses on how
AI can be applied as a disciplined production tool, enhancing precision, scalability, and authorship, rather than as a surface-level creative shortcut.
He is the founder of Cyprus Surreal, an independent AI-driven visual project that reinterprets Cypriot landscapes, symbols, and everyday realities through a surreal and speculative lens.
The project explores cultural identity, perception, and the future of visual storytelling, positioning Cyprus within a broader global conversation around AI, art, and narrative construction.
Evgenios is also the Managing and Creative Director of 300PPI NextGen Studio, a nextgeneration visual production studio specialising in high-precision branding, AI-assisted content creation, and scalable digital ecosystems for forward-thinking brands.
Under his direction, the studio operates at the intersection of experimentation and commercial reality, delivering
systems designed for long-term brand equity rather than short-term trends.
Across both his creative and professional work, Evgenios places strong emphasis on ethics, authorship, and cultural intelligence in AI-assisted design.
Through public talks and industry discussions, he advocates for clarity, restraint, and responsibility in how artificial intelligence is integrated into creative practice and business strategy.
