A Greek Artist: Theophilos Hatzimechael

(An Amateur artist, Self-taught painter)

Theophilos was a self-taught folk painter with inspiration and sensitivity that went far beyond the conventionalism of folk art. Born in Mytilene (1870-1934), he spent most of his life there and in the villages of Pelion, painting the walls of private residences and shops and more rarely the surfaces of portable objects. He portrayed historical subjects and genre scenes in a unique combination of iconographic symbols.
