Free from convention, Nikolaou rejects his figurative work and the need to depict the natural things, as he arguably ought to in a commissioned portrait. He sees the painter from an angle removed from the established academic means, and thus reveals himself to us. It is a “biographical” work by the artist, who attempts to catch his subject in a moment of relaxation, with a cigarette in his hand.
Along with other important artists, such as Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas (president), Yannis Tsarouchis and Yiannis Moralis (vice presidents), and Lili Arlioti (secretary), he served as treasurer in the “Armos” art group.
