He is an artist that moves in the fields of painting, digital art, video theatre as well as installation art. He has also worked in the field of interactive experiential theatre, video theatre, exploring the limits of them since 1990.
Filippos Tsitsopoulos video installations have been presented in many exhibitions and shows and workshops in Madrid where he worked and stayed from 1991 until 2012. He worked at the El Prado Museum in Madrid from 2005 until 2012 (Art department, Museum legacy collection and workshops).

In Greece has exhibited at Batagianni Gallery, at E. Tseliou Gallery and in Madrid with Rafael Perez Hernando. Performances and installations at Megaro Mousikis with Anna Kafetsi and with Denys Zacharopoulos among others.
Filippos is using extraordinary and elaborately constructed masks as a form of protection, disguise, identity, isolation, alienation, and human resilience. His work involves an exploration of authentic identity versus performed identity. He considers the often polarised fragmented identities that we perform and how to bring the interiorised authentic self and the exterior constructed self together. His goal is to examine socially constructed patterns of behaviour, create situations in which the participants break or transcend the internal feedback loops that control their own actions, and address the power structures we inhabit and perpetrate.
