Monogramma   (R)   
News / Biography





"Monogramma" has uniquely recorded the individuals who have marked the intellectual, cultural, and artistic trajectory of our country with their presence and work. It has been characterized as a "National Archive" by the press, and for the first time in 2012, the Academy of Athens recognized and awarded audiovisual work, awarding producers and directors George and Ero Sgourakis the Academy of Athens Award for their entire body of work, particularly for "Monogramma." The reasoning behind this was that "…their biographical programs constitute a valuable portrait of Greeks who acted in the past but also in our era and created, as it was characterized, a work "for the next generations".
The idea of ​​creating this series came from producer-director George Sgourakis, to present the life, work, and worldview of individuals who act in the intellectual, cultural, artistic, social, and public spheres, in an autobiographical format so that there is no interference and the cinematic document is preserved in its purest form.
The format of each episode aims at presenting the autobiographical (visual and audio recording) of an individual who operates in the intellectual, artistic, cultural, political, social, and public life, in a way that engages the interest of contemporary viewers.

Today: "Christos Sarakatsianos"

Creator, painter, engraver, and sculptor Christos Sarakatsianos, with wide recognition and acclaim not only in our homeland but also in European countries where he worked: England, France, Italy, and most importantly, he established himself with his work even in New York, where he lived for many years.

He was born in Megali Gotista, Ioannina, studied at the Zosimaia School of Ioannina, where he attended his first painting lessons and later completed his studies at the Athens School of Fine Arts, with teachers such as Panos Sarafianos in sculpture, Thanasis Apartis in sculpture, and Giannis Moralis in painting.

After the ASFA, Christos Sarakatsianos continued his studies in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Alliance Française.

Devoted and dedicated to the cause of art, with expressions in painting, sculpture, and engraving. His work is multifaceted and significant, with a particularly personal and expressive character, featuring original compositions that are formed, altered, and developed over the course of his long and timeless creative journey. He consciously chooses to express himself through geometric forms intertwined with a critical stance towards modern ways of life. His personal style is influenced by contemporary trends but does not adhere to the movements of each era.

Christos Sarakatsianos essentially creates a completely personal world with his own artistic identity.

The foreword is by Giorgos Sgourakis.
