The painter and graphic designer Yiannis Svoronos was born in Drama in 1919 and passed away in Athens in 1987.
He attended classes at the Athens School of Fine Arts (1937-1939).
From 1944 onwards, he turned professionally toward the graphic arts and the design of posters, publications, and catalogs within the framework of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF), where he worked during the period 1954-1963. At the same time, he engaged in stage and costume design, collaborating with the theater troupe of the Artistic Society (1944), while from 1963, when he settled in Athens, he contributed to the illustration of literary works.
As a painter, despite his limited productivity, he established himself in the public consciousness as a key representative of abstraction, and more specifically geometric abstraction, which he served faithfully. The goal of his painting was to project space and matter as self-existent values.
