In 1996-1997 he visited the USA, on a 6-month sabbatical, in order to study the educational programs and the organization of sculpture workshops at the N.Y. School of Fine Arts.
During the last 20 years Th. Papayiannis has initiated the organization of Sculpture Symposiums in many Greek towns and Cyprus, creating large scale sculptures for public spaces. The sculptures are being created on-site.
Theodoros Papagiannis has been actively involved in 30 individual and numerous group exhibitions, both in Greece and abroad. His monumental works are found in many private spaces, museums and private collections, both in Greece and abroad.
