Γεννήθηκε στην Αθήνα το 1938 και σπούδασε στις Σχολές
Καλών Τεχνών της Αθήνας και του Παρισιού, όπου εκθέτει
τακτικά και όπου κέρδισε φήμη καλή για την υψηλή αξία
της ζωγραφικής του. Έργα του βρίσκονται σε περίφημες
συλλογές και η τέχνη του (σε τοπία, εσωτερικά και νεκρές
φύσεις), χαρακτηρίζεται από τον «ήχο της σιωπής». |

Karavouzis's preferred subjects are still lifes and
mysterious exteriors and interiors. The structure of his
works is clear, spare, and solid. The influence of
Morandi's style and of pittura metafisica is selectively
apparent in his compositions. The illusion of real space
and time is dispensed with and replaced by visual
comments on the meaning of past and present, the
historical moment, and the presence and absence of
simple objects. |
