Alkis Pierrakos (Greek: Άλκης Πιερράκος; 1920-2017) was a distinguished Greek painter, known for his contributions to modern European painting. Born in Thessaloniki in 1920, Pierrakos spent his childhood and teenage years in Yugoslavia before returning to Greece in 1938. He began painting in 1936 without formal education. Pierrakos studied painting at the Gewerbeschule in Basel, Switzerland, and later at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. During his time in London, he apprenticed under the significant expressionist painter Oskar Kokoschka. In 1954, he permanently settled in Paris, where he remained active in the art scene and regularly presented his work in Greece.
