Tasos Chonias started painting at a very young age at16 he did wall paintings at commercial spaces and later turned to scenography, movie-poster design and conservation of old wall paintings. Since 2005, he has been focusing exclusively on oil paintings with themes evolving from a series of interiors. His Interiors work is inspired by the lives of people who lived inside neoclassical buildings like the one that hosts his atelier in Kipseli. Because of his particular depiction of sun light entering the spaces, his collection of Interiors paintings is often described by art critics as presenting “the illusion of space that belongs to a different, third dimension”. He made his first solo exhibition at the gallery “Agathi” in 2006 and has taken part in many group exhibitions in Greece and abroad. His paintings are being auctioned at large auction houses across Europe such as the Bonhams of London. He is collaborating with renowned galleries in Paris, New York, Athens and Cyprus.
