Born in Greece in 1981, Vasilis Avramidis is a contemporary artist who primarily works in oil painting. He is renowned for his “impossible landscapes”—scenes that exist between reality and imagination, often marked by traces of architecture or its fragments, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar and uncanny. His paintings frequently convey a sense of “frozen theatricality,” like a stage awaiting a story to unfold, poetic yet tinged with unease. This distinctive atmosphere has brought his work significant attention in the international art world.
Avramidis’s works are held in numerous private collections across the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Greece, the Netherlands, Australia, and Cyprus. In addition, his paintings are part of the collections of the University of the Arts London and In4Art in Rotterdam.
