Pavlos Samios (born 1948) is a Greek painter and professor at the Athens School of Fine Arts.

Samios was born on October 28, 1948 in Athens, Greece. As a teenager he worked at Dionysios Karoussos icon-painting studio and at the same time he attended drawing lessons under Panos Sarafianos so that he could pass the exams in order to enter the School of Fine Arts where he was accepted in 1969,  and he graduated in 1972. 

In early 1978 Samios organised his first solo exhibition in Athens where he exhibited a total of 36 paintings. The same year he moved to Paris where he lived until 1992. 


In his paintings Samios express a symbolic and metaphysical vision. He uses several painting techniques (fresco, tempera, etc.) which are characteristic of his various periods of work. His works are found in private collections, museums and cultural institutions worldwide. More on Pavlos Samios
