The Images On The Walls
The images you see on the walls are based on well known Greek artists of the 20th century. Instead of having the stereotype decoration you usually find in Greek restaurants, especially outside of Greece, we wanted to pay tribute ro them:
Yiannis Moralis ( Γιάννης Μόραλης 23 April 1916 – 20 December 2009) was an important Greek visual artist and part of the so-called “Generation of the ’30s”.He is a person who carried weight in many fields and found himself to be equally au courant. Furthermore, he exhibited a strong sense of responsibility when it came to confronting modern day problems. His art is distinct for the esoteric nature of its forms and its capacity and ability to suggest space.

Spyros Vassiliou ( Σπύρος Βασιλείου; June 16, 1903 – March 22, 1985 ) was a Greek painter, printmaker, illustrator, and stage designer. He became widely recognized for his work starting in the 1930s, when he received the Benaki Prize from the Athens Academy. The recipient of a Guggenheim Prize for Greece (in 1960), Spyros Vassiliou’s works have been exhibited in galleries throughout Europe, in the United States, and Canada.

Dimitris Mytaras (Δημήτρης Μυταράς; 18 June 1934 – 16 February 2017) was a Greek artist who is considered one of the important painters of Greece during the 20th century
His work was mainly inspired by the human figure, and a combination of naturalism and expressionism. From the 1960s onward, Mytaras moved in the direction of naturalism, while from 1975 an expressionistic approach became more and more marked in his output.
