TRANTAFYLLOS
PATRASKIDIS (1946)
Born at Drama,
Triantafyllos Patraskidis studied at the
School of Fine Arts, painting with Nicos Nicolaou and Yannis Moralis
(1964-1969) and mosaics with Elli Voila (1967-1969). He
continued
his studies at the École
des Beaux Arts, Paris (1972-1979) in painting with Gustave Singier, in
mosaics with Riccardo Licata and in lithography with Hubert
Haddad. He had his first solo exhibition in Athens (1981),
but
had already participated to group shows since 1969. Other one-man and group
exhibitions followed both in
Greece and abroad.
Curator at the Preparatory Workshop of the School of Fine Arts since
1982, he was elected professor in 1984. He has been also
engaged
in sculpture and mosaics, as well as sound expression. In
1989 he
worked out artistically the Greek postage stamp issue "Greece - Land of
the Olympic Games". His work being clearly expressionist it
is
almost exclusively dominated by the human figure. He is the
husband of painter Magda Levendakou. He lives and works in
Athens.
