Nikos Doulos is an Amsterdam based artist, born and raised in Athens, Greece. He obtained a bachelor degree (BFA) in painting from the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA) and a Masters (MFA) in public space art from the Dutch Art Institute (DAI) in the Netherlands.

In his work, he creates malleable situations/conditions as participatory infrastructures and ‘soft’ knowledge generators. Walking holds a predominant part in his practice.
He is the founder of NIGHTWALKERS – a collectively practiced nocturnal walking project investigating the contemporary identity of the flanêur. NIGHTWALKERS has been performed in the Netherlands, Serbia, Sweden, Italy, Hungary and South Korea to name a few.
Doulos predominantly engages on research trajectories under the umbrella of Expodium – an ‘urban do tank’ that utilizes artistic means to address urban challenges and the ever-changing nature of cities.
He has presented collaborative projects at the Trafó House of Contemporary Arts (Budapest), Bildmuseet (Umeå), participated at the Impakt Festival (Utrecht), the Athens Biennale: #4 AGORA and the 53rd October Salon and has lead workshops for UNIDEE – Cittadelartte Pistoletto Foundation and the University of the Arts, Uniarts Helsinki among others.
He is a co-curator of ‘Unmaking The Netherlands’ program initiated by Expodium and a co-editor of the Unmaking or How To Rethink Urban Narratives publication. He teaches periodically at the University of the Arts, Uniarts in Helsinki. He works collaboratively.
