Black and white portrait of a young man with short dark hair, a beard, and tattoos on his left arm. He is wearing a striped button-up shirt and jeans, with his arms crossed and a confident expression.

Spiros Halaris is a New York City–based artist and illustrator. Trained at the University of the Arts London, he draws on a wide range of influences to make images that feel intimate, mysterious and a little uncanny.

His illustrations combine meticulous detail with carefully arranged scenes enigmatic figures, floating objects, small private universes.

He's drawn to the moment in between things: a glance, a pause, a room caught just before or after something happens. Memory and imagination share the frame, creating a dialogue between past and present.

He works across illustration, prints & textiles, set design, and animation, for clients including Dior, Chaumet, Bulgari, Roger Vivier, Evian, Estée Lauder, Air France, Walt Disney, Bergdorf Goodman and Emporio Armani.

His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, WSJ, and The Washington Post, and in books including Illustration Fashion Now and The Beautiful Illustrations for Fashion & Style (Taschen/Gestalten).

He lives on the Upper East Side with a very large, very senior dog.
