Pavlos Samios - Παύλος Σάμιος - was a Greek painter and professor at the Athens School of Fine Arts.
Samios was born in Athens, Greece. His interest about art rose during his early childhood when he used to spend many hours at his father's workshop (Samios’ father was a shoemaker).
As a teenager he worked at Dionysios Karoussos icon-painting studio and at the same time he attended drawing lessons under Panos Sarafianos so that he could pass the exams in order to enter the School of Fine Arts where he became accepted in 1969.
