While still a student at ASFA, he contributed to Ethnos newspaper as cartoonist. His experiences in the War and as a soldier at the front led him to a series of drawings that he later reworked in oil. The result of this activity is his book &#8220;This is how we fought 1940-1941&#8221;, which received the Athens Academy Award.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandrakis\u2019s subject matter also includes portraiture, nude and landscape paintings, allegorical and genre scenes.
