Stavros Ioannis

Ethereal trees that defy conventional form on Aegina

If there is one thing Anastasis Ioannou remembers from his childhood, it's his father stuck among his easels of oils and watercolors, wielding a paintbrush or pencil. And there, in the creative chaos of Stavros Ioannis (1945-2009), a renowned expressionist and student of Yannis Moralis, young Anastasis would sit at his own small easel, mimicking his father.
