Birth Of Aphrodite
2005 |
)
|
| Cyprus is my birthplace and the birthplace of Aphrodite. She still lives on the island. I feel it every time I visit my homeland. There is a passion and vibrancy emanating from the Cypriot landscape that perpetuates the Goddesse’s myth. |

| Oppurtunities missed and gained. The world of books can be a refuge, a distraction, a goldmine of information, a world to hide in or to enrich our lives.

Three Women (On display in the Cyprus Consulate in New York City)
2004 |
','Image'))
|
| In the weeks preceding the April 2004 Vote on the United Nations Plan to find a solution to the Cyprus problem,
I was consumed with a myriad emotions most of them conflicting simultaneously or consecutively.
My only release was to express all those emotions and thoughts in a painting.
This painting I named “Three Women”.
It is a gift to the Cypriot people through the Republic of Cyprus.

Cypriot women Face to Face
2006 |
','Image'))
|
| This painting expresses my view that if the women of Cyprus came together with an open mind and their love for the island to guide them, they could overcome any mistrust and/or fears they have about living together. Cypriot Women-Face to
Face will discover the commonalities of the basic truths/beliefs of the two religions that will allow them to nurture the differences in each other's cultures.
