Hi, I’m Stathis Petropoulos, a Greek-born visual artist and designer based in Athens with a long-standing love for storytelling through illustration and product design. Over the years I have collaborated with publishing houses, advertising agencies, and game developers, creating vibrant images and thoughtful products that balance craft and imagination. Beyond making pictures, I enjoy shaping concepts from sketches to finished looks, leading projects from initial idea through production. My work spans fine art, children's book illustration, and consumer goods design, and I’m fluent in Greek and English with a working knowledge of French and Italian.
