Greek arhitecture has not only influenced architects from all over the world,

but has also influenced many greek or non greek artists.

These few examples present 

various types of greek houses which manage to fit

 within the scenery that hosts them.

Using several technics ( such as oil or tempera on canvas )

 these greek artists  have

managed to imprint the feeling of these places onto a paper, with a romantic and cheerful way.

Giannoulis Chalepas was, and remains, a leading figure in the modern Greek art.

His work (from which 150 pieces were saved)  is characterized 

by its classic conceptions. The element that could be appreciated by even 

the most ignorant observer, is the expressions of the face's and the bodies

 of Chalepa's sculptures, either he represents a Satyr, or Medea with her

children, or even a young sleeping girl. For this reason Giannoulis Chalepas 

can stand as equal next to the great Roden.
