Gabriel Karagianis is a contemporary painter. He has an expressionist style which he developed in his studio working with oil paint on canvas. His artwork depicts narrative folkloric subject matter, archetypal motif, and abstract designs . Over the past 20 years of his creative career, he has sold paintings directly to private collectors around the world, produced customized commission work, and worked in commercially creating logos, branding, and illustration.

His studio is located in a rural area Northwest of Chicago, where he has played an active role to invigorate his community providing greater access to the arts. Arranging and hosting dozens of events over the years, his commitment to reaching underprivileged people and sharing access to artistic living continues to grow as his efforts spread from in-studio classes to online courses set to launch in 2025.
