Temo Svirely (Georgian: თემო სვირელი) (April 21, 1964 – October 21, 2014) was a Georgian–Ukrainian artist.

Temo worked in various mediums, including painting, figurative and abstract, drawing, collage, print and photo installation, blending traditional motifs with contemporary themes. His use of bold colors and dynamic compositions often conveyed a sense of energy and intensity, evoking deep emotional responses in viewers.[1] "He managed to accurately and clearly reveal the subtle sensations of existence, its pain and pleasure, shadow and light, tenderness and infinity".[2] "The uniqueness of Temo Svirely is in the attempt to express the many-dimensioned world, where the game is condensed into ritual." (Igor Dychenko)[3] "A subtle colorist, particularly in his triptichs. Carelessly playing with colors, trying (in his own words) to turn them into sounds."[4]

His works were exhibited in United States, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Austria, Russia, Czechia, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine in Mystetskyi Arsenal National Art and Culture Museum Complex, Taras Shevchenko National Museum, Museum of Outstanding Figures of Ukrainian Culture, Mikhail Bulgakov Museum, National Art Museum of Ukraine.
