Artist In Focus: Charis Tsevis, Visual Designer from Cyprus

Art takes in and absorbs all shapes and sizes. But to put everything into one frame requires the touch of the artist’s hands. From a kid who loved creating new things, to an artist whose paint, brush, and canvas breathe out charisma and life, Charis Tsevis couldn’t have imagined a life without his first love – Art.

Charis Tsevis is a Greek Visual Designer who runs a studio on the Island of Cyprus, serving popular brands like Google, Nike, Toyota and media publications like Time, Fortune and Wall Street Journal. As an artist who weaves magic with his hands, Charis can be a living benchmark of postmodern artistic style.

Yodoozy: Hello Charis! You have been working with some big brand names as a Visual Designer, but let’s start this discussion from the beginning. When did you start working in this field and what motivated you to be an artist?

CT: More than 30 years ago… I was designing since my childhood and never stopped.

Yodoozy: That’s a remarkable amount of time to be associated with art. What was it like growing up as someone who was artistically inclined?

CT: I was a hyperactive kid, always messing around with creative things. I was drawing, designing, painting on every possible material and surface, even on street walls… I couldn’t imagine any other work for me than serving the arts.
