Vasilis Zarifopoulos, born in 1983, is an Athens-based artist. He is a graduate of the University of Aegean (2006) and holds a Master's degree from Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (2013), where he studied under Rita McBride. His artistic practice is diverse, encompassing various processes and concepts, often with an autobiographical context. He is particularly interested in communication design and contemporary social issues.

Vasilis actively seeks collaborations that combine curating and art-making, aiming to blur the lines between the two practices. He is interested in creating situations that allow him to study relationships and their social context. He has collaborated with numerous institutions and creative thinkers, and his work has been exhibited in various art venues, including Plex, Knead, Opening Gallery, One Minute Space, Caribic Care, Home Cooking, Sub Rosa, Arcade Gallery, Queer Thoughts, Villa Empain (Resident 2017), Showroom Mama, PAN, Parkhaus, MACBA, Malkasten, and Kunsthalle Düsseldorf.
 
Additionally, Vasilis has worked for Ergo Collective, Life Sport, the Public Program of Documenta 14, Kunsthalle Athena, and NEON projects with Whitechapel Gallery, Tino Sehgal, Marina Abramovic, and Asad Raza. He was awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by Artworks in 2021 and has contributed to various publications.
