Notes

Petros KOUFOVASSILIS was born in 1949.

He is a Greek painter whose work is known mainly through exhibitions and auction records. His paintings, often dated to the 1980s and later, reveal an interest in the human figure, theatre, mythology and symbolic composition. Works such as *Figures*, *Statue*, *Nymphs* and *Theater I* suggest a visual language centred on figuration, staged presence and imaginative narrative.

Koufovassilis’s painting is characterised by expressive form, strong compositional structure and a distinctive sense of atmosphere. His figures are often presented in poetic or theatrical settings, creating images that move between observation, memory and fantasy. Through his use of colour and form, he develops compositions that combine figurative clarity with symbolic and dreamlike qualities.

His work has appeared in auctions and private collections, and recent records show continued interest in his paintings. Although detailed biographical information remains limited, Petros Koufovassilis is recognised as a Greek artist whose work belongs to the broader field of late twentieth-century figurative painting.
