YANNIS
ADAMAKIS (1959)
Born at Keratsini,
Yannis Adamakis first
studied Economics at the School of Financial and Commercial Sciences in
Athens (1977-1984).
From 1982 to 1985 he
took lessons in painting by Thodoros Pantos, having been registered at
the School of Fine Arts at the same time (1983).
He had his first one-man show in Athens
(1988).
Before that he was shown in group exhibitions since 1983.
Many other solo and group shows followed in Greece. From 1983
to
1987 he was member of "Group SYN", while since 1989 he is teaching
painting at the Open Workshop for Painting of the Keratsini
Municipality. In between realism and abstract, his work
brings a
neo-romantic air with an expressionist touch. He lives and
works
in Keratsini.
