Born in Athens, Yannis Grammaticopoulos studied painting at the School of Fine Arts (1947-1952) with Umbertos Argyros and etching (1952-1953) with Yannis Kefallinos.  With a scholarship he continued his studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris (1957-1958), painting with Maurice Brianchon and fresco with Ducos de la Haille.  He had his first one-man exhibition in Athens (1956).  Other solo and group shows followed in Athens and abroad.  Since 1957 he settled permanently abroad, initially in Paris and later in Brussels.  His work is mainly abstract or beyond and demonstrates, with the method of the co-existant dialectic plasticity, his personal cosmotheory: cosmography.  He lives and works in Brussels.
