“I took part of my last and first name and created ‘Gar-Sot’ in 1995 to symbolize a neutral entity for humanity. I wish for my art to be an expression of my name and inspire our World for a better tomorrow..”

Spanning over half a century of paintings, sculptures, architecture and mixed media work, Sotirios Gardiakos opens “Garsot Arts Gallery” in Dec. 2012 here in Chicago’s historic Greektown West Loop district.Born 1943 in Filiatra Greece and inspired at age 3 from his father's drawings, this legendary Greek artist and master surrealist has completed thousands of original, technically beautiful and optimistically moving artworks. In 2013, his series of ‘organics’ showcases an exciting new style of abstracts and complex syntheses never before seen by the artist.

Garsot artworks can be found throughout the Mediterranean, South Africa, South America and North America.

For more information on Garsot please stop by our Gallery. We are located across from the National Hellenic Museum in Chicago's Greektown West Loop district.


“Beauty and truth will be forever victorious through the arts, for the glory of humanity.” -'Garsot'
