Asteris Gkekas (Greek: Αστέρης Γκέκας) (born 18 November 1954) is a modern Greek artist from Thessaloniki, Greece.

Career

Gkekas earned a degree in physical education from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, but after graduation began studying art under Nikos Michelidakis, a Greek sculptor.[1] Following this training, he founded the workshop Dimitris Galanis in 1985.[1] Inspired by Greek folk culture and an interest in poetry, Gkekas has been recognised as having “created his own visual language”.[1] He has worked in the fields of sculpture, wood engraving, and pointillism painting.
