Panagiotis Varelas

Born in St. George village near the city of Levadeia, in 1959, where he finished elementary school. He finished his high school studies inLevadeia.

Ηe studied at the design department of SELETE (Higher School of Technological and Pedagogical Education). In 1982, began working on Odigitis, the weekly newspaper of the Communist Youth of Greece (KNE). His creative and artistic concerns were expressed inthe newspaper, through dozens of covers, illustrations, sketches etc. He has designed political posters, book covers, and dozens of printed forms for political communication.

The evolution of typography, lithography and the emerging digital technology gave him the opportunity to develop his own way of viewing the visual arts and their role in communication in general. The dynamic input of offset prints led him to the pursuit of new forms in the use of color, in modern lay out of printed forms, newspapers and publications in general.

In 1986 he enters the field of advertising and communication. He was more concerned with communication and industrial products. He has designed hundreds of corporate logos for many companies, as well as their corporate identity portfolios for the Greek and international market.

He has designed the lay-out of monthly magazines for industry and commerce (eg., Meat Point, Energy Point and others), as well as illustrated the monthly magazine for children Smiles & Knowledge.

He studied the needs of many publishing companies and their audiences, foreseeing the incoming informational revolution and suggested the solution of bidirectional communication.In the current decade he has designed the website architecture for large companies operating in the international environment.

Indeed self-taught, with no “commitments”, he opened his own artistic way. With constant experimentation in materials, composition, form and content. Each incentive led him to new artistic approaches.

He has founded the Laboratory of Visual Arts P. Varelas. He is a member of the Chamber of Visual Arts.
