Pavlos Samios was born in Athens in 1948. From an early age, he took up traditional and icon painting. He attended preparatory courses at Panos Sarafianos’ studio and entered the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1969, where he studied painting under N. Nikolaou and Y. Moralis, until 1972. He presented his first solo exhibition in 1978 (Zoumboulakis Gallery, Athens). From 1978 to 1992, he lived and worked in Paris, where he was largely influenced by Yannis Tsarouchis, among other artists. He has presented his work in more than 25 solo exhibitions in various cities of Greece, as well as in Paris, London, New York (retrospective), Hanoi, etc. He has also participated in important group and international exhibitions in Greece, France and other parts of the world (Europe, Asia, America, Australia, et al.).
