Panos Iatridis
Graduate of the School of Fine Arts - Art Teacher

Panos Iatridis, who became widely known from the Masterchef project, was born in Athens and originates from the historic Astros of Kynouria. Growing up in a big city and at the same time having images from his place of origin, he manages to compose in his works the violence of the modern way of life with the purity of another era. This was the central axis of his dissertation presented at the Α.Σ.Κ.Τ. in 2009 which awarded him the scholarship to 3rd ANIMART, Summer meeting on animation and other Visual Arts organized by the Hellenic Audiovisual Institute and European Animation Center in the summer of the same year in Kalavrita. His painting often contains elements of comics and cartoons. Besides, since 2007 he maintains a thematic blog with cartoons that satirize the news. Apart from painting and cartooning, other areas of interest are scenography and visual advertising.
