Lyra-player of Nisyros

Dinos Papadelias devoted himself to lyra construction. He doesn’t sell his instruments. He offers them, as he believes that this is the only way the quality of his work can be preserved.

Dinos Papadelias is the artist whose art escapes its echo. His personality, although fervent, does not impose itself. He sacrifices himself. He constantly serves and reciprocates for the gift he’s been given. A self-taught craftsman in the construction of lyra and pebble floor, he knows that beauty and truth must be shared. He made his first lyra studying a picture from a Greek stamp. Rapt by the voice and music of the lyra, he devoted himself to its construction. He doesn’t sell his instruments. He offers them, as he believes that this is the only way the quality of his work can be preserved. His creativity and his fervor, emit sparks from his love for the lyra and his deep faith in a reality he tries to achieve. Dinos is an inseparable and organic body of Nisyros, bursting with fire, stone and sea.
