Theo Bargiotas is a southern boy. He was born in 1982, grew up in Tennessee and Athens, Greece. Since he was a child, he fabricated myths and drew them. In 2004 he graduated from The University of Athens School of Law and in 2005 from Strathclyde University School of Law (LLM). He worked as an attorney in Athens until 2011 when he decided to dive into the Heart of Darkness which is Art. He graduated from the Athens School of Fine Arts (3rd painting studio) with a distinction and went on to earn his MFA in Fine Art from The University of Oxford (distinction).

Since he deeply missed the South, he moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and taught studio art at Louisiana State University, while working on his Doctorate degree research concerning a philosophical analysis of genetics and cloud storage. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in the US, the UK and Greece and published two books (Pernilongo 2012, Marmelada, 2014).

After receiving his Doctor of Design, he moved to Athens, Greece where he now teaches painting and keeps on fabricating myths and drawing them..just like he always did.
