Sarantis Karavouzis (1938-2011) was born in Athens in 1938. In 1957 he started painting. He meets the artists Giorgos Manousakis, Giorgos Gounaropoulos, Yiannis Tsarouchis, Clearchos Loukopoulos, Dimitris Galanis, who encourages him to continue. From 1959 to 1963 he studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts with Yiannis Moralis. He works from time to time to create scenery with Giorgos Vakalo, Yiannis Tsarouchis and Yiannis Moralis. In 1967 he continued his studies at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris with a scholarship from the French Government. Karavouzis continued his theoretical studies at the Ecole du Louvre until 1974. In 1984 a committee of art critics and writers in Paris awarded him the Drouant Cartier prize for his entire work. He has held many individual exhibitions in Greece and abroad.
