• In his works, Avramidis occupies a strong, unmistakable and highly individual position in 20th century sculpture.
• From the 1960s onwards, he showcased his art at the 31st Venice Biennale, documenta III (1964) and documenta 6 (1977).
• Avramidis' works are equally committed to figuration and abstraction; his influences include luminaries such as Constantin Brancusi and Wilhelm Lehmbruck.
