He<strong> studied violin at the Athens Conservatoire<\/strong> and <strong>painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts<\/strong> under Yiannis Moralis (1955-1960). Shortly after <strong>his first solo show in Athens (A23 Gallery, 1960)<\/strong>, he went to Paris on a French state scholarship. He <strong>studied lithography at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts<\/strong>, under Clairin and Dayez (1962-1964). He finally settled in the French capital, where he lived for 35 years, keeping, however, an equally close relationship with Greece.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container dynamic-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pQfr9cyFTOM?si=GpvLOCoSCFuVHM30\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong>The particular features of his art were gradually developed during his stay in Paris<\/strong>, where he had the opportunity to familiarize with the modern artistic trends of the 1960\u2019s, among other things. However, unlike other Greek artists of his generation, he did not clearly embrace any of the European avant-garde movements of the time. <strong>He remained faithful to figurative painting and his Greek heritage, maintaining all along his respect for the lessons of the \u201830s generation, his love for Greek art (ancient, byzantine, folk) and his strong ties with the true Greek environment experience.&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe human figure is his <strong>main subject<\/strong>, which is at first rendered with a deliberate simplicity, but with time, it progresses and becomes a dominant presence in space; <strong>his drawing style is schematized with clean-cut, clear outlines, and his compositions are flat with minimal shading<\/strong>. <strong>The colour is often spread intensely and evenly across the surface of the form, attributing in the image an impressive monumentality, with a poetic rather than a realistic effect.<\/strong> The patterns occasionally appearing in his paintings, both the purely anthropocentric ones (cyclists, smokers, romantic couples, et al.) and those describing objects or spaces, spring from a familiar everyday life, which, however, acquires a mythical dimension, especially when there are direct references to figures from the Greek mythology.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container dynamic-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IdwG6nkEYww\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nHe <strong>has illustrated books<\/strong> of well-known poets and writers in Greece and France (Elytis Tachtsis, Cavafy, Aragon, Apollinaire, et al.). He has also designed posters and stamps. He <strong>worked as a stage and costume designer<\/strong> with the National Theatre of Greece, the Karolos Kuhn Art Theatre (Theatro Technis), and other troupes, in performances of ancient Greek drama and modern plays as well. He <strong>has also published his own prose and poetry<\/strong>. In 2000 <strong>he created artworks for the \u2018Metaxourgio\u2019 metro station in Athens<\/strong>. <strong>Four films on his oeuvre have been released<\/strong> (Greek and French productions), and <strong>several monographs have been published<\/strong>. In <strong>1999 he was awarded by the Athens Academy<\/strong>, and in <strong>2010<\/strong> and <strong>he was honored with the Legion d&#8217;Honneur medal<\/strong> (Officier des Lettres et des Arts) <strong>by the French government<\/strong>.&nbsp;<br \/>\nHe presented his work in <strong>more than 70 solo exhibitions in Greece and in many European cities<\/strong>. His last retrospective exhibition&nbsp;<span class=\"iset_italics\">Fassianos: Mythologies of Everyday Life<\/span>&nbsp;was held at the Athens National Art Gallery in 2004.
