Artist Information


With more artwork to be discovered and spanning more than 60 years, Sotirios Gardiakos, the artist known as Garsot has created thousands of paintings, sculptures, architectural and mixed media designs throughout Europe, South Africa, US and the Middle East.

Through painting a lifetime Garsot now paints to inspire a brighter, more optimistic generation of art.  Optimistic Art is a movement more than a style for Garsot and his focus.

“My choice is to create positive images in all my work as my theme.  This theme can be either based on or influenced by Mythology, nature, politics, the sciences or inspiring human thoughts.  Whatever it is, it is always uplifting and full of positive energy!

I like to blend fantasy, realism, abstraction and my own concepts and inspirational visions together with a strong influence in the female for in my art.  She is natures dominate creator and nurturer.

Today I want to influence future artists to be uplifting in their message as the arts are the light and glory of humanity.  We will remain forever victorious as a species through the arts.”
