With mixed-media artist Vira Konstanta he runs Tsevis Studio, which works from Europe for clients worldwide. The studio's signature language is the algorithmic mosaic.

From 1996 to 2015 Charis was Visiting Professor of Editorial Design and Typography at AKTO College, Athens. He has presented seminars at Panteion University of Athens and spoken at conferences including the International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication, TEDx Athens, Adobe MAX and OFFF Barcelona.
He writes about design theory, aesthetics and the history of computing, for ten years as a monthly columnist in RAM and in +Design, and is the author of two books on Adobe Photoshop.
His work has received ED Awards, Epica Awards, NPSA, Behance and EBGE awards, and he was selected four consecutive times for Lürzer's Archive "200 Best Illustrators Worldwide".

Amazing Design, I love this... Thanks for your sharing .............
Amazing work!
Di solito sono piuttosto critico e poco incline ai complimenti gratuiti, ma tutto questo non vale per Charis, un artista straordinario le cui opere sono ricercate ed apprezzate in tutto il mondo, e sinceramente ne invidio talento, capacità e risultati ottenuti.

Usually I'm very critical and not inclined to praise free, but this does not apply to Charis, an extraordinary artist whose artworks are sought and appreciated world wide, and honestly I envy his talent, skills and achievements.

Just in the tradition of the ancient textile weavers of Afrika, your mosaics speak without words...sing an epic tale!
Que más puedo agregar...Es una artista original súper creativo y jugado, con creaciones que tienen un trabajo muy minucioso... Sólo tienen que observar su galería que esta llena de creatividad, muy recomendable!
your works are absolutely awesome

I originally met Charis on an online forum-flaming-war about MACs and PCs. At a certain point I became his sworn forum enemy! All that changed however, at the point we started a personal conversation and later on we met on several occasions. It was at this point that I realised one extremely important point about his character: If you strip Charis from his multi-talented Homo Universalis persona, above and beyond all, he is a true friend and a passionate man. He is the one that will support his friends, stand on his beliefs and will never pretend of being someone else, for publicity's sake. Even now that he is known worldwide! We are friends because he is simply Charis. Nothing more, nothing else. PS: Now I have one imac and two PCs and running all three OSes known to man. But I earn most of my daily bread from the mac. Thanks to him
Read lessCharis is a truly fearless artist. He dares to go the extra experimental mile where others rest within their perceived and false safety. He always attempts to be in touch with the zeitgeist of our era, that is now seemingly changing so fast, while the core remains eternally the same.
Tsevis is a great experimenter with awesome results. Looking at his work is inspiring.

Since much has been said about his artistic ability and skills, I wanted to comment about Charis on a different level. Though I know him only through our interaction here on Flickr, I believe that Charis has a warm soul and is a very kind hearted man. His comments always make me smile and feel good about myself, and that is a very beautiful thing. He always seems willing and able to notice the deep sentimental value of art, and is very gracious upon receiving compliments. He clearly puts thought into most every comment he makes, something that is generally rare in this large community. As a member of the flickr community Charis Tsevis deserves a big Bravo!
