George Kavallis was born in Piraeus in 1969.

He designs and builds houses in the Cyclades using the elements of tradition and austerity of Cycladic architecture combining them with the modern aesthetics and functional needs of a now-a-days building.

He captures the light of the Cycladic landscape, photographs the people, the vernacular architecture as well as the archaeological sites of the islands and Greece in general. He has participated in group exhibitions in Paros and elsewhere.

He held his first solo exhibition in the Building of the Aegean Art Gallery in Paros in August-September 2017 with B/W and color photographs entitled "Poetry of Light".

In 2019 he participated at the Exhibition " People of the Despotiko " at the Gallery 'Anti ' together with Mary Hatzaki which was then exhibited in the Hellenic American Union in Athens and the Consulate of Greece in New York.

In the same year he was one of the 5 photographers whose work won the photographic competition for 'Kapetaneika', a demonstration race of traditional boats held in Paros and was exhibited in Antiparos during the Antiparos Photo Festival.

On 2024 he took the 2nd position at the photo competition held by the Non-Profit Organization “ Paros Ancient Marble Quarries Park AMKE ”.

He is co-founder along with his wife Maroulia Kontou of the Conservatory Mythodia in Paros.

He is vice president of KYKLOS Cultural Club.
