Psychopedis Jannis
Jannis Psychopedis was born in Athens in 1945.
He received a scholarship to study Engraving in the Athens School of Fine Arts (1963-1968) and then completed a postgraduate degree in Painting (1970-1976) in the Munich Academy of Fine Arts with a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
