He was born in 1925 in Hydra to local parents and was the son of a restaurateur. He remained in Hydra until 1937. After his education in the first grade of high school, his family settled in Piraeus, initially in the city centre and after the Occupation in Gallipoli. He took his first painting lessons in 1940 from the German philosopher and woodcarver Klaus Frislander. During the same period he met Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika and Dimitris Pikionis. After graduating from the sixth grade high school he studied law, which he left after a short time. During the last year of the Occupation he entered the Athens School of Law, from which he graduated in 1949. He had studied under Dimitrios Bishkinis, Pavlos Mathiopoulos and Konstantinos Parthenis. Later, thanks to a scholarship, he completed his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Paris during the period (1953-1956), where he was taught engraving.

Tetsis formed a personal perception of expressionism. His works include scenes of everyday life, portraits, landscapes, but also still life. In his works there is an important concern for colors and light. Apart from painting, Tetsis was also involved in engraving and the creation of murals in churches and public buildings.

He was awarded on 29/02/2016 with the Giannis Moralis award, which was established for the first time in 2016. He died on March 5, 2016 in Athens, at the age of 91.

• Lithography is a printing technique which was invented around 1798 by A. Alois Senefelder, based on the fact that water and fats are never mixed.
• The subject or performance is drawn with greasy chalk on stone (porous limestone) or tin plate and 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.
