Born in Corfu, Giallinas studied from 1872 to 1875 at the private art school of Charalambos Pachis.
It was there that he met the British Ambassador, Clare Ford, who commissioned him to paint albums of landscapes from Venice, Spain, Rhodes and Istanbul.
Ford also arranged an exhibit in London, which ran from 1891 to 1892, and introduced Giallinas to the British nobility.
From 1907 to 1908, he painted murals at the Achilleion, a palace built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria.
