Vassilakis Takis, born in 1925 in Athens, is a Greek sculptor, who works mainly in the field of kinetic art. A self-taught artist, painter and sculptor, Takis joined the Greek resistance during World War II during the German occupation, and then the civil war that followed. In 1954, Takis left Greece and moved to Paris. Takis's work was influenced by the invention of radar and his discovery of the magnetic field in 1958: he used the invisible force of electromagnetism to create a mysterious atmosphere. Takis' works are part of numerous private and public collections around the world. Three of them are exhibited in the permanent collection of the Center Pompidou Museum, in Paris.
