Sarantis Karanikolas was born in 2006 in Athens and is a student of Linguistics at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. At the same time, he studies Byzantine Music, while from a young age he has cultivated a distinctive artistic path that began with graffiti and gradually focused on Greek calligraphy—and particularly on the calligraphy of Byzantine music, which he now practices professionally. Artistically, he draws inspiration from the scribes of the Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods, from the 10th to the 19th century, aiming to connect tradition with the present. He has attended seminars in palaeography and codicology at the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece, in collaboration with the Democritus University of Thrace, as well as calligraphy workshops under the guidance of Maria Genitsariou.
