Boulakia moves freely between abstract and figurative icons, between exacting draftsmanship and amorphous doodles, at times he maintains a romantic intimacy at others he is attracted to a mucky morbidity. An important element in Boulakia’s work is his relation to nature and its infinite artifacts. Like an old-school botanist he collects leaves and stalks, seed pods and different pine cone in his studio where he impresses them into damp surface of the plaster to conserve their traces-signs.
His works have been shown in several exhibitions.
