Yorgos Stamkopoulos
Yorgos was born in Katerini, Greece and has been living in Berlin since 2006. As a child, Yorgos spent his time filling his school books with drawings until finally deciding to enroll in art classes. He went on to graduate from the Athens School of Fine Arts, and traveled to Berlin on an Erasmus student exchange program. For Yorgos, Berlin provides a productive and relaxed atmosphere conducive to his practice.

“Painting is not an accumulation of pre-meditated gestures plotted out on a canvas, nor is it an expressive act. Painting is something that is removed from the canvas, while my art is that which remains.”

Yorgos originally traveled to Berlin as an exchange student and felt that there was a very productive and relaxed atmosphere where he could focus on his work and, since then, has never left.
