As a child he was orphaned and moved to live with relatives in Nauplio where he finished school.
As he died very young he did not manage to publish a poetry collection.
He is one of the few poets of the First Athenian School that wrote poems both in Katharevousa and Demotic Greek.
He also wrote a novel titled Two Nights which was published in Euterpi magazine and a tragedy (The death of Papaflessas) which is lost.
Modern critics have found in his work the prospects of a creative force which was cut short because of his early death.
