View of the Athens Acropolis from the Meropeion
Oil on canvas
A poetic Athenian landscape where monumentality meets everyday silence. Through a contemporary modernist gaze, the Acropolis rises beyond the urban fencing and dense vegetation, transforming a familiar city view into a deeply atmospheric memory-image.
By Kostas Triantafylopoulos — student of the legendary Yannis Tsarouchis and educated at the École des Beaux-Arts.
The work reflects the spirit of 20th-century modernism and the enduring dialogue between Athens, its monuments, and contemporary life.

“ Zappeio” oil / canvas exhibition
“Painting Tsarouchis and Other Stories: Landscapes, Still Lifes and Athenian Iconographies in Crayon and Painting”
by the distinguished Greek artist Kostas Papatriandafyllopoulos.
Exhibition is running until Saturday May 30
A pupil of Yannis Tsarouchis, Papatriandafyllopoulos belongs to a generation of post-war Greek painters whose practice is deeply rooted in the legacy of the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, where he completed his artistic formation. His work occupies a distinct position between Greek modernism and the European figurative tradition.
Over several decades, his practice has developed a consistent visual language centred on atmosphere, memory, and the urban poetics of Athens and the Greek landscape.
His oeuvre has been repeatedly present in the secondary art market and selected auction contexts in Greece and abroad, reflecting sustained collector interest and established market recognition.
The exhibition brings together a carefully selected body of works that articulate light, structure, and painterly observation, offering a coherent reading of his artistic trajectory.

INTERIOR OF A KOLONAKI APARTMENT BUILDING We are honoured to present a rare masterpiece by Kostas Papatriantafyllopoulos — one of the finest Greek painters of the 20th century.

A student of Yannis Tsarouchis, he later continued his studies in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he developed a language that combined European modernist discipline with the emotional depth of old Athens.

“Interior of a Kolonaki Apartment Building” captures the haunting beauty of an interwar Athenian apartment building.

A silent staircase.
Curved architectural lines.
Muted light dissolving into memory.

The painting evokes the cosmopolitan Athens of the 1920s — an era of elegance, intellectual life and understated aristocratic refinement, when Kolonaki embodied the European spirit of the city.

Its atmosphere is deeply nostalgic and cinematic, recalling the vanished world of old bourgeois Athens with extraordinary sensitivity and poetic restraint.

This is not merely a painting.
It is a fragment of Athenian history.
A rare collector’s piece of museum importance.
A work that speaks to those who understand beauty, heritage and timeless cultural value.

A distinguished pupil of Yannis Tsarouchis, Kostas Papatriandafyllopoulos belongs to the post-war generation shaped by the artistic legacy of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His work moves fluently between Greek modernism and the European figurative tradition, forming a deeply personal visual language rooted in memory, atmosphere, and the poetic urban landscapes of Greece.
Through landscapes, still lifes, and intimate city iconographies, the artist captures fleeting moments of light and silence with remarkable painterly sensitivity. His compositions evoke both nostalgia and immediacy, balancing structural precision with emotional resonance.
Papatriandafyllopoulos’ works have maintained a consistent presence in auction contexts in Greece and internationally, reflecting sustained collector and institutional interest. This exhibition presents a carefully curated selection exploring light, architecture, observation, and the enduring poetry of everyday life.
