About Gio Manveli

Hi, I’m Gio.

I’ve loved painting since I was a teenager. Back then, I was totally obsessed with Van Gogh— I copied dozens of his paintings just to figure out how he did it. Those early works ended up hanging in our family’s Airbnb in Tbilisi… and fun fact: most of them got stolen by tourists. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I’m kind of proud of that.

Then adult life happened. I stopped painting for years. Moved countries, started working, got busy. But when I moved to Amsterdam, something changed. We switched apartments a bunch of times, and every time I saw empty walls, I felt this itch to make them feel like home. That’s when I picked up the brush again.

Now I paint scenes that feel real and lived in—rooms with stories, spaces that aren’t perfect, but warm and human. It started as a way to fill my own walls, and now I’m sharing it with the world. Thanks for being here.

Please let me know if you fall in love with any of my work. If you have specific wishes, please contact me on support@giomanveli.com
