Georgios Sikeliotis Art for Sale at Auction

Painter, b. 1917 - d. 1984

Sikeliotis was born in Smyrna and in 1922 he moved to Athens. His early childhood memories recall the refugee camps in Kessariani, something that would greatly influence in his work, throughout his life.

In 1935 he enrolled at The School of Fine Arts, Athens, where he studied painting under Spyros Vikatos and Constantinos Parthenis.

His work is centred around the human figure, maternity, family, everyday life and religion. He works mainly in oil in an expressionistic manner, usually in earthly colours.
