I am a multidisciplinary artist who explores themes around identity, community, and place, often drawing on my Cypriot heritage. I am keenly interested in abstraction and expressive colour, particularly in relation to landscapes, both real and imagined.
I enjoy working concurrently across different media, from painting, ceramics, installation, and film. My paintings and ceramic works often feature in my installations and film work.
I recently graduated with a BA in Art and Contemporary Craft at the University of Sussex, at West Dean College of Art and Conservation. For my final piece, I created an art film titled "Family Dinner”, which was selected to be part of the inaugural Axis film festival in the memory and migration category called Notes from Home.
At the moment, I am working on a new body of abstract landscape drawings and paintings, inspired by my time in nature in both the Algarve, Portugal, and the Surrey Hills, England.
