Daskalakis Stefanos
He was born in 1952 in Piraeus. He studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts, under Yorgos Mavroidis (1970-1974) and continued his studies at Lyon and Paris (1978-1981), where he attended the workshop of Leonardo Cremonini at the École des Beaux-Arts. He also became a student of Yannis Tsarouchis for a period.
In his first solo exhibition in Athens (Syllogi gallery, 1982), he presented a figurative painting style, making use of the traditional technique of oil painting. The paintings depicted interiors and still lifes in a realistic manner and warm colors. His work received attention immediately and was associated with a broader shift towards traditional forms, which affected many young Greek artists at the time. This trend was considered to represent a kind of Greek postmodernism.
