Constantinos Valaes began his studies in fine arts at an early age. He was taught painting and hagiography by Nicholas Kalamvokis (hagiographer) and Elena Binioti (professor at the School of Fine Arts). The technique that he presumed the most was silversmithing and metalsculpturing for which he owns a state degree. Using his primary materials, copper and bronze, he managed over time to develop his inspiring ideas by giving to his sculptures shape, character and distinct quality. His masterpieces evolved and became well known. Supported by his family, at 2009 he established the "VALAES" company in collaboration with his two sons, Panagiotis and Aggelos. He is also a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts.
