Biography
[edit]Tasos Dimos was born in Neo Psychiko, Attica, north of the municipality of Athens,[5] on December 28, 1960. He comes from Arta and Ioannina.[6]
He began his studies in the workshop of the painter, Georgios Vakirtzis, in 1979, and enrolled at the Athens School of Fine Arts in 1983.[7] His professors were Demosthenes Kokkinidis, Dimitris Mytaras, Vangelis Dimitreas and Marina Lambraki-Plaka.[8] He received scholarships from the Greek State and in 1988 he graduated with honors.[9] He continued his studies at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, with a scholarship from Bosch.[10] He is a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece since 1989.[11]
In 1984, he married Katerina Zionga and they had two children together, George and Maria.[12] He has been a resident of Papagou-Cholargos for several years now.[13]
From 2001 onwards,[14] he has been participating (with various galleries), in many annual art fairs, such as Art Athina and Art Thessaloniki.[15][16][17]
