Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on May 08, 1944)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Lefteris Valakas! Another year sculpted into perfection, just like your timeless creations. Your masterpiece "Nike" on Kos island still stands tall and proud—though rumor has it she's secretly jealous of how gracefully you age!

And let's not forget your iconic bronze piece, "Ancient Warrior," who bravely guards history with dignity (and perhaps a bit of envy at your enduring charm). May this birthday bring as much joy and admiration as you've given us through every chisel stroke. Here's to another year filled with creativity, laughter, and sculptures that outlast even our best jokes!
