This is a very familiar figure not only in Messolonghi, but also outside of it. His works adorn hundreds of houses in Greece and abroad and whoever acquires one, immediately brings himself to the unique landscape of the lagoon and a Messolonghi that is unseen to the majority of people.

Mr. Athanasiou was awarded by the trade association for his contribution to the promotion of the city through art. “I do not expect anything when I paint, I find satisfaction only when my love for Messolonghi comes to life in my paintings. As long as I can, I will surpass Messolonghi for culture to be shown through art. I will keep the workshop open at all costs, in order to show to foreigners the love, the respect and our admiration for this city and its history, “he said among others.
