Giorgos Tsakiris, a renowned artist living and working in Greece, is an exceptional figure in the landscape of modern Greek art, particularly in the more daring expressions developed since the 1970s. Having participated in over sixteen solo exhibitions in Greece and in Italy, Tsakiris has also won prestigious awards, including the Santa Croce Special Painting Prize in Florence in 1987 and 1982, as well as the First Villamania Engraving Prize in 1981. His works are exhibited at the Vorres Museum and are part of public and private collections in Greece, Italy, Germany, France and America.

The early years of the 1980s marked Giorgos Tsakiris' final transition to three-dimensional constructions. Most of these works have a totemic form and their arrangement in space creates a feeling of art close to ritual. During the 1990s, Tsakiris presented living organisms before spectators, in artificial ecosystems created by the artist himself. At this time, art is no longer transferred to the countryside, but natural functions are installed in the exhibition space.

The work of Giorgos Tsakiris is distinguished by its exploration of form and space, transforming exhibition environments into immersive experiences. His sculptures and drawings reflect deep reflection on the relationship between art and nature, as well as rituals and human interactions.
