The occupation with the "cure" of the ancient sculpture was to Triantis something different from the practice of personal expression in sculpture. The two jams equally fascinated him throughout his life.
Station in artistic creation was his stay in Paris. In the first period created a series of anthropomorphic abstract compositions 1 to 8 and the second of architectural compositions 1-4. Both sections are closed and easily identifiable. From the first small emerged later compositions first to fifth. From the second series showed the monument of Amfissa.
