Takis Katsoulidis was born in Messini. From 1952-1958 he studied printmaking at the Athens School of Fine Arts, under the tutelage of Yannis Kefallinos. In 1962-1966 he continued his studies at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris on a scholarship from the I.K.Y. with M. Cami and E. Clairin as his teachers. At the same time he specialized in book art at the Ecole Estienne. From 1971-1976 he was director of the Decorative School of A.T.O. (Doxiadis). In 1978 he was elected professor at the School of Graphic Arts of the TEI of Athens. He designed Cypriot and Greek stamps. He was artistic advisor of Aspiotis-ELKA from 1986 to 1988. In the framework of the research programs of TEI he designed two new Greek alphabets for the phototypesetting (AGFA) “Apollonia” and “Katsoulidis”. Subsequently, until today he has designed a total of ten Greek alphabets. He has presented 25 solo exhibitions of painting and engraving in Greece and abroad. He has participated in many Biennales and International exhibitions.
