CV
Gravvalos Panayiotis
(Lamia 1933 - Athens 2014)
An artist who has distinguished himself in print-making, and particularly in graphic arts, Panayiotis Gravvalos has also been involved with painting, which brings out with clarity the aesthetic and expressive capabilities accorded to him by his familiarity with the use of the line and of colour in a direct relation with the design. It is with a specific ideological position and participation in the evolution of society that the content of his work has taken shape; here man, who is rendered with clarity within the framework defined by the purity of line of his drawing, dominates. His experience of engraving serves superbly his disposition towards realism, which is not lost even in the rendering of other subjects, such as landscape.

Description
As Gravvalos tells us himself, For Periklis Pantazis belongs within "the series of my works with portraits of people of the intellectual world. In these works, my stimulus has to be twofold: first, the intellectual work, and then the expressiveness of the face, the hands, or of another part of the life of the specific artist. In the case of Periklis Pantazis, my admiration for his work was complemented by the very typical portraits which he himself produced for himself. But in analysing his works with figures, I noticed the great importance which he attaches to the expression of the hands, something with which I am concerned in my own work. The composition of my work is due to a combination of the above.
