Dimitris Mytaras

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.

From 1953 till 1957, Mytaras studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts under Yiannis Moralis and Spyros Papaloukas.

[2] Leaving Greece in 1961 he studied stage design at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris with Labicse and Jean-Louis Barrault on a three-year scholarship.

Upon his return to Athens he held the retrospective "Study on a Mirror" at the Merlin Gallery, at a point when he was under heavy influence from abstraction, he went on to state that "In the end my deepest concern is with the idea of changing form" (in regards to his show).

Beginning in 1975, he taught at the Painting Workshop of the Athens School of Fine Arts.
