Nikos Charous - Gorgones

Gorgones is the title of Nicos Charous' latest exhibition, presented by Gallery Kypriaki Gonia from 3 - 24 March 2012.

The painter Nikos Charous was born in Aradhippou in 1958. He was brought up in a family of ten people, the family of Costas and Vasiliki Charous and he is the 9th child. He studied fine art at the Athens School of Arts (1980 - 1985). Among his teachers were Demetris Mytaras and Elias Decolacos. At the present time Nicos Charous is a high school art teacher. In his career he has participated in 23 art exhibitions in Cyprus and abroad.

Along with painting, Nicos Charous also likes to write some poetry. In 2006 he published a poetry book by the title ‘Musical love’. The book was being published by Parga Printing house.

His latest art collection is called “Gorgones”( Mermaids) and it contains one hundred works of art, some of them painted in acrylic and others in oil paints. This collection of paintings is inspired by the fine features of women. Most of the paintings include images that reflect the beauty of the sea bed. The color that is dominant in almost every painting is blue and its countless variations. All of the paintings are drawn with the poetic mood of the artist and therefore a dreamy atmosphere it is created. Every painting tells a story of the sea bed. The creatures that are used in almost every painting are mermaids.
