Artist’s CV
Georgas Spyros was born in Athens in 1958. He studied Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and Bologna, respectively, while he had already taken drawing lessons from G. Kouzounis. During his professional career, he was involved in illustrating children’s books, creating posters for plays, Music Festivals in America and for advertising campaigns. His journey to Asia (Odysseus, Trebizond, Erzurum, Caspian Sea), in 1995-96, was decisive for his artistic inspiration and creation. Since 1996, he has been teaching color and drawing to prepare prospective students at the A.S.K.T. He wrote the study book “Color-Nature-Art” and three more books on the life and work of artists, K. Parthenis, G. Tsarouchi and G. Bouziani, (Finatec Publications, 1998-2001). In 2005 he contributed to the creation of the Gallery of Art “Technientos”-Print Paint, which hosted important Greek artists in periodic exhibitions. Since 2011 he has been writing articles on Art issues in the online magazine “DUEDE”. His involvement in theater set design for a number of years, expanded from 2014 to acting, participating in theater performances as well as in films. In several performances he combines both qualities (actor-painter) where he paints on stage with the presence of the audience. His research focuses on the use of solid materials with constructions of marble, wood, metal, glass, chemical materials, as well as on combinations of multimedia, sealing his artistic path with interventions in new multi-level spaces. He has presented his work in Solo exhibitions in Greece and has participated in many Group exhibitions in Greece and abroad. His works are in Municipal Art Galleries and in Public and Private Collections in Greece, Europe, America, China. He lives and works in Athens.
