Born and raised in the picturesque town of Nafplio, Gerakarakis's artistic journey began at an early age amidst the ruins of ancient citadels and the murmuring of the sea. Captivated by the interplay of light and shadow that adorned the ancient stones, he sought to capture their essence through his own artistic creations.
Gerakarakis's distinctive style is characterized by its vibrant colors, bold compositions, and introspective undertones. His subjects range from the serene landscapes of his homeland to the expressive portraits of everyday people, all imbued with a profound emotional resonance. His brushstrokes are confident and expressive, as if each stroke carries a fragment of his own soul.
