Immerse Yourself in Local Masterpieces and Captivating Photography
Step into the Galanopoulos Art Gallery, a hidden gem in the heart of Oia, Santorini, where art, architecture, and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony.
Founded in 1986, this gallery is more than an exhibition space — it’s a living expression of Santorini’s creative soul.
Inside, visitors are invited to explore the evocative fine art photography of Galanopoulos — a visual journey inspired by the organic curves of Cycladic architecture and the bold geometry of modern design. Each photograph transforms familiar forms into abstract compositions, playing with light, shadow, and texture to reveal the island’s timeless beauty through a new artistic lens.
Through innovative composition and a minimalist aesthetic, Galanopoulos reimagines the Cycladic landscape, creating a visual dialogue between tradition and innovation. Every image captures the rhythm of Santorini — the sculptural lines of whitewashed walls, the dance of sunlight across stone, and the quiet poetry found in simplicity.
Whether you are an art collector, traveler, or simply someone who appreciates beauty, the Galanopoulos Art Gallery invites you to pause, reflect, and experience Santorini’s architecture as fine art. Discover a space where creativity and authenticity meet — where every image tells a story of light, structure, and soul.
Seamlessly integrated with the beloved Karma Restaurant, the gallery offers an immersive art and dining experience, where fine cuisine meets contemporary Greek art.

The Story about one of the
first art gallery in Oia Santorini
Founded in 1986 by Greek artists Stavros Galanopoulos and his wife Bella, Galanopoulos Art Gallery stands as a living testament to their shared devotion to creativity and cultural heritage. Nestled in the heart of Oia, Santorini, the gallery blends the island’s luminous atmosphere with the timeless spirit of Greek fine art.
Stavros Galanopoulos, a renowned sculptor celebrated for his powerful three-dimensional works, gained international acclaim through exhibitions in museums, foundations, banks, and private collections across the world. His sculptures—defined by bold geometry and emotional depth—reflect both ancient Greek form and contemporary minimalism.
Although Stavros passed away in 2015, his artistic legacy continues to thrive under the care of his family, who lovingly maintain the gallery and ensure that his creative vision endures. Today, visitors can experience a unique harmony of authentic fine art photography, original sculptures, and limited-edition prints, each piece preserving the poetic interplay of light, structure, and soul that defined his work.
Galanopoulos Art Gallery remains one of Santorini’s must-visit art spaces, inviting travelers, collectors, and art lovers to discover a story of passion, innovation, and the enduring beauty of Greek artistry..
Today, Galanopoulos Art Gallery continues the creative legacy of its founder through a new generation of artists. The gallery now showcases the fine art photography of Giorgos Galanopoulos and his wife Toto, both celebrated photographers whose work captures the soul of Santorini’s Cycladic light and architecture. Alongside their contemporary imagery, visitors can also discover original sculptures by Stavros Galanopoulos—the renowned Greek sculptor whose vision shaped the gallery’s origins—and miniature paintings by Bella, whose delicate brushwork and warmth welcome every guest.
Each corner of the gallery reflects a dialogue between past and present, where the elegance of classical Greek form meets the innovation of modern photography. The result is a space that feels alive—filled with texture, emotion, and timeless beauty.
At Galanopoulos Art Gallery, we believe art has the power to inspire, connect, and heal. Our mission is to create a sanctuary of creativity, where visitors can pause, reflect, and rediscover themselves through art. Whether you’re an art collector, traveler, or simply curious soul, we invite you to step inside and experience Santorini’s artistic heartbeat—a world where the island’s light, architecture, and human spirit converge in perfect harmony.
