Giannis Spyropoulos was born on March 12 in Pylos, Messinia. He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts under Spyridon Vikato, Umberto Argyros and Epaminondas Thomopoulos (1933 – 1938). In 1938, on a scholarship from the Academy of Athens, he went to Paris, where he continued his studies at the School of Fine Arts with Charles Guerin and in independent academies. He returned to Greece in 1940 and later began to exhibit his works in solo, group and international exhibitions in Greece and abroad (Alexandria Biennale 1955, Sao Paolo Biennale 1957, Kassel Documentary 1964, 1975).

A classic of Abstraction, Spyropoulos proceeded, consistently in the development of his formal-plastic quest, from figurative rendering to abstraction and, finally, to purely abstract writing.

• Lithography is a printing technique which was invented around 1798 by A. Senefelder (Alois Senefelder). He relied on the fact that water and fatty substances never mix.
• The theme or performance is drawn with greasy chalk on stone (porous limestone) or tin plate. It is then dried. When water runs on the designed surfaces, the greasy ink “catches” only in the places that are engraved and not in the wet stone.
