Michael Z. Kevgas was born in Kallithea, Attiki in 1943 to parents who were refugees of Asia Minor descent. He attended the Department of Design at the Diplareios School in Athens, and later studied Interior Design at the Athens Technological Institute (Doxiadis School) from 1969 to 1971. He is a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece.

Many of his works can be found in public and private collections in Greece as well as abroad.
