| | About artist: | Yorgos Maryelis was born in Athens in 1943. He came to know the world of art since he was a
child, as his father was the famous painter and professor of conjectural and applied arts, Kostas Maryelis
He will conclude his first term of studies, obtaining a degree (1963) in Athens, during which he will receive four Studies Awards.
The conclusion of his studies and the acknowledgment of his talent was realized with his studies in advanced drawing and coloring in the shop of the internationally known Greek sculptor and painter Andreou in Paris.
Yorgos Maryelis has participated in many exhibitions from 1963 (beginning with the 7th Panhellenic Exhibition in Zappeion Megaro in Athens) until today, both in Greece and abroad (most of them including a committee for the evaluation and approval of participation).
Many Yorgos Maryelis paintings are among private collections in Greece and abroad, as well as in many Municipal Galleries in Greece.
His last personal exhibition was in may 2007 in Athens
