Tsarouhis' art expresses the concept of greekness in a mature and inspired way. Influenced by the messages of Kontoglou and Parthenis, he visited Mt. Athos, where he was introduced to the byzantine element and then to the work of Theofilos, the Fauvism portraits, Braque and Matisse. All these visual and aesthetic stimuli were articulated to a very personal vocabulary, where the bluntly realistic met the idealistic, the powerful male images reflected something from the ancient Greek concept of "andria" and the virile met the doubt in sexual orientation in the faces of soldiers-protectors and guardians of the bourgeois morality. Dynamic color, monumental compositions, frontal and statuesque figures, bold outlines and simplification, characterize his style.

Born in Piraeus, he showed an early talent in painting and the early examples of his work reflect an advanced capability in design.
He is one of the few artists to discover the value of the Greek tradition and develop it by giving to it the expression and richness, which would ensure the fullest declaration of the sensitivity of the Greek artist, through an absolutely modern and unconventional work of art. His work is daring, clear and reflects his chromatic vision, his thoughts, his ideas.
