On Air Artist Spotlight: Yiorgos

Welcome to Inwood Art Works On Air podcast! This artist spotlight is on visual artist, Yiorgos.

Yiorgos (George Tsugranes) retired in 2018 from his professions as a floral designer and a middle school math teacher for the Annenberg-funded arts program of JHS 22 and at the Special Music School near Lincoln Center. He has been creating visual art ever since.

Yiorgos’s art is always life-affirming, playful, and appealing. He has shaped a unique style that is instantly recognizable, bringing an appreciation of organic forms and the omnipresence of geometry to his work.

When not creating stirring images, he enjoys playing classical and jazz music at the piano, traveling abroad, and taking long walks with his wife and Labrador retriever.

He has previously exhibited at ChocNYC (February 2025) and Kuro Kirin (Fall 2024). His pieces are to be found in several private collections. And we are thrilled to present his work at Inwood Art Works this Fall (2026).
