Artist statement:

Having experienced painting and drawing for many years, the ultimate reflection within ones work is The spirit of the Drawing. The line is an integral part within the structure of making Art. The idea of the line is of the up most importance. My work begins with that line, and continues to learn the fabrics of the drawing to the painting. Although my work is constructed with an abstract frame, it is fundamental to achieve all possibilities to push further the two acts. The stronger the line, the richer it becomes, therefore new ideas and sensations are formed. How can one paint without the exploration of drawing. My new work is taking on a new story. A new story These new paintings are a self discovery, within my Cypriot roots. It is an exploration of spirit, through the history of my family, and the islands spirit itself .The exhibition will be a rites of passage. A beginning to tell my own story’s through experience of painting I hope one day that all my story’s can be told on one canvas. One feels this show is the beginning of that journey.
