Vassilis Kolokythas

Vassilis Kolokythas was born in 1948 in Patras. Graduate of the Department of Physical Education of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Along with his involvement in sports (Professor in Secondary Education, Balkan in Decathlon), very early he switched to painting, developing great activity. He did free studies next to well-known painters such as George Kouzounis and Dimitris Vergidis.

He uses both oils and mixed colors, and his subject matter refers mainly to nature and the Greek landscape. His paintings are related to the search for Impressionism with an expressionist dimension. It avoids the design outline and leads the viewer’s gaze to read the subject through the color correlations.

The dialogue of the canvas, the colors, the materials is formed through a lyricism that stems from the reverent dedication that Vassilis Kolokythas has on the rules of painting.He presented his works in Greece and abroad, while his works have been sold at BONHAMS auctions in London.
