Iasonas Koutsouris

Iasonas Koutsouris was born in Athens, in 1998. He grew up in the Athenian neighborhood of Pangrati and from an early age he admired the arts, since his parents were working in this field. For his studies throughout Junior and Senior High School, he chose to attend the Music School of Alimos, but never stopped drawing and trying to engage with graffiti. Thus, one year before graduating from high school he decided to try his hand on wall painting.

He started studying at the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art, at the Technological Educational Institute of Athens, while keeping up wall painting. During his studies he met ‘U can't stop Us’ collective and his engagement with graffiti grew both as a designer and professionally, through commissions from various spaces.

During the third year of his studies, he made up his mind to change course and found the courage to participate in the 2019 entrance exams to the Athens School of Fine Arts, where he succeeded. From then on, a wider world was introduced to him, which allows him to experiment with various artistic activities, without ever losing his love for graffiti.
