He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts under the professor Thomas Thomopoulos (1930-1934).
In 1937 he participated in the exhibition of the group “Free Artists”, where he also presented works on the theme of animals. He also took part in many exhibitions in Greece and abroad, including Panhellenic (1938, 1939, 1940, 1948, 1952, 1960, 1963, 1969, 1975), exhibitions of the “Free Artists” group (1937, 1939, 1940), International Exhibitions of Contemporary Medals of F.I.D.E.M, Athens 1966, Paris 1967, Prague – Bratislava 1969, Exhibition of Medals and Plaques of Premio Uno a Erre in Arezzo – Montecatini Terme – Torino in 1968 and Outdoor Sculpture Exhibitions in Filothei in 1966 and 1978.

He was a member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts, the Greek Sculptors Association and the “Free Artists” group. His works can be found in public spaces in Athens, Argos and Hydra, in the Municipality of Athens, the Municipality of Piraeus and the Ministry of Education, as well as in private collections.
Using marble, bronze and terracotta, Euripides Vavouris focused on the realistic rendering of the human form. He was also the first to systematically deal with animal figures, which he rendered in characteristic poses, capturing familiar, everyday moments. Zacharias Papantoniou, in fact, director of the National Gallery of Greece, was the first to use the term “Animalier” to refer to his works.
“The Little Donkey”, which belongs to the collection of the National Gallery and was presented in 1937, in plaster, at the exhibition of the “Free Artists” group, is one of his first works in the field of animal sculpture and is rendered in a realistic style in a moment of calm.
