Ink and acrylic on paper, Plexiglas

Ink on rice paper, Plexiglas This artwork is an exploration of local culturally, religiously and socio-politically imposed prototypes and boundaries. It is the exposure and disclosure of the taboo that is hidden behind social norms, power, and consensus. It is a manifestation of forces and counter forces within the Cypriot society and their psyche, where the dynamics of power appear in a range of situations and conflicting architectural elements.

Ink on recycled paper, Plexiglas In my work I seek through landmarks visual scenes that reveal exciting dynamics about the multicultural environment I live in. The superimposed labyrinths on top of my ink drawings are my own interpretation of The Sacred Labyrinth Walk - Illuminating the Inner Path - the ancient practice of "Circling to the Center" - the rediscovery of the self-alignment tool to put lives in perspective as one of the most important spiritual movements of our day.

Ink on rice paper, readymade wending machine. Contemporary society has distanced itself from conventions and principles, in favour of modernisation and economic growth. In losing sight of our own heritage, we have become apathetic spectators incapable of intervening and we have all but lost the innate urge to create an environment around us that we can feel with both our inner and our outer senses. Out of deprivation of a sensory connection with our environment, we are left without souls.

Ink on rice paper, plexytubes The B-hive is an installation about cohabitation, effective communication, coordination, cultural exchange and ultimately collective survival in a multicultural society. It is a visual metaphor for how people while strongly value their individuality and freedom of choice, they also could place a premium on entering the local community (the beehive), to engage the members of that community in the recognition of a common ground between different cultures.

Ink on rice paper, Plexiglas. In order to predict future outcomes and survive in this world, we need to analyze the information we receive through our senses and spot patterns in the complexity around us. Looking at how our life has been helps us project how our life will be. The Butterfly Effect thus plays with aspects of reflection, perspective, cycles, symmetry, rhythms, repetition, correlations and patterns.

Coffee and ink on rice paper, readymade cups. The cups hold miniature drawings of conflicting images from Cyprus and are meant to add a narrative character to this work, as they document visual panoramas from “occupied” and “non-occupied” parts of the island. At the same time the work makes a mockery of the ongoing dilemma of the local political situation, as the only place left to look for answers to the Cyprus question remains at the bottom of the Turkish-coffee cup!

Ink on aluminum plates. This drawing depict a range of social situations and conflicting architectural landmarks in Cyprus. They are defined in such a way that the concept reflects that of professional offset printing, which involves the splitting of a full-color image into separate four basic ink color plates: cyan, magenta, yellow and black -- making a direct reference to alienation, racism and prejudice in Cyprus.

In this work the ink drawings map out the Byzantine churches in the Troodos mountains that are included in the official UNESCO list of cultural treasures of the World's heritage. Superimposed on top is a Plexiglass labyrinth, which is my own interpretation of ”The Sacred Labyrinth Walk”, which has long been used as meditation and prayer tools.

Ink on rice paper, Plexiglas. Inspired by the five colours and the intertwined rings of the Olympic symbol, this work represents an encompassing of labyrinthine pathways designed to bring balanced and harmonious insight into the often conflicting yet exciting dynamics of the multi-cultural environment in Cyprus.

Ink and rice paper, Plexiglas. The "Chat Room" series explores the psychological milieu surrounding the political talks aimed at reunifying the divided island of Cyprus. It represents an evolving conceptual framework of the conflicting yet exciting dynamics of the local multi-cultural environment. Moreover, the artworks serve as the extension of one's mind, as a transitional space between self and other, as a path for exploring one’s own identity while engaging in the identity of others.
