Our Mission
The Karoussos Archives, a century-old cultural Byzantine art collection, has shown us how culture may alter our society by influencing change. We put our Byzantine cultural legacy into practice, encouraging sustainable development and social advancement. We use advanced technologies to develop new ways of expressing Byzantine monumental art. We engage in various social services, outreach projects, and advocacy work based on our cultural legacy and tailored to our current needs. By reflecting on the past and embracing present accomplishments, we can build a brighter now and a thriving future.

Intergraded approaches and practices for Byzantine Cultural Heritage
The Hybrid Frescoes
Karoussos Archives introduces a groundbreaking technique combining analog archival material with digital painting to create the world's first hybrid frescoes. This innovative approach offers a unique and captivating experience that combines the beauty of Karoussos' frescoes with the versatility of digital art. Discover the future of art preservation and a new era in the post-Byzantine monumental painting with Karoussos Archives.
THE KASTUDIO
The Byzantine Cultural Heritage access point
The Karousos Studio aims to protect Karoussos' artwork by preventing the spread of misprinted copies. It also intends to take specific pieces of his frescoes outside religious contexts. By redefining its use and space and promoting its thriving continuation in our digital age, the Karousos Archive sparks the global circulation of Byzantine art.
