George Cosmadopoulos was born in Volos in 1895.

He studied painting at the School of Fine Art in Leipzig, Germany and then continued his studies at the Grande Chaumière in Paris.

Cosmadopoulos’ themes include landscape, compositional, still life and portraiture. His style moves between realism and impressionism, where in his paintings the spectator can witness thin, sharp yet visible brush strokes of colour in a way where realism and poetry merge harmoniously. Emphasis is given on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities and in some of his works the inclusion of movement is a crucial element of human perception and experience.

In 1926 he presented his work for the first time in Greece and abroad and continued to exhibit in many national and international shows throughout his life. He participated in the Venice Biennale of 1934 and 1936. In 1936 he was awarded the Silver Medal of the International Exhibition of Paris.

His work can be found in the National Gallery of Greece, the Municipal Gallery of Athens, the Municipal Art Gallery of Rhodes, the Leventis Gallery and many other public and private collections.
