Wonderland - Painting Exhibition by Pepi Martin

Opus 39 Gallery proudly presents “Wonderland” by Pepi Martin.

Opening on Monday, 5 March 2018 at 7.30p.m.

Pepi (Peproneh) Martin (née Iltchibekian) was born into an Armenian family in Tabriz, Iran. She has lived in Iran, the UK, Monaco, the UAE, Qatar and Cyprus. Limassol has been her principal residence since 1989. Spending long periods in a number of countries has helped her to become tolerant towards other cultures and appreciative of the environment and life in general. Travel remains a passion for her and has given her the opportunity to visit many museums and art galleries, serving as a kind of continuous tutorial for Art History.

From a young age Pepi was passionate about drawing/painting and loved art classes at high school. She later continued her studies at Vahramian’s Art Studio in her hometown Tabriz and at the Cultural Foundation Art Workshop in Abu Dhabi. In Qatar from 2011 to 2016 Pepi set up her own studio, working independently and allowing her thoughts, emotions and knowledge to become her Master. Solitude gave her the space to work diligently and produce many paintings. And further study of her finished paintings has led her to compose a number of poems; she loves this newfound and supportive activity, with subjects concerning both her particular paintings and more general observations on life and people. Upon arriving in Cyprus she started to take her artwork more seriously and continued exploring her artistic expression with tutors such as Helene Black and Marilena Aristotelou.

Pepi’s paintings are in private collections in Cyprus, England, Lebanon, Qatar, Russia, the UAE and the USA.
