The pathways on canvas

The solo painting exhibition Pathways by Helena Hadjioannou will be displayed at Gallery Kypriaki Gonia in Larnaca as of Friday.

This is her sixth solo exhibition and the inspiration behind it was her love for taking long walks and observing the natural phenomena around her.

She explains that “it is not a literal account of a particular place but an invitation for the viewer to join me on Pathways, for a journey of expressive emotion. The interactions with paint and colour are the tools which enable me to reach and express boundless areas of our humanity.

I find that it is possible for me, when I am walking in nature, to lose myself in the moment, so it is the same when I am back in the studio getting into dialogue with a piece of work.”

Hadjioannou Studied at St. Martin’s School of Art in London from 1991 until 1996. Apart from having accomplished six solo exhibitions, she has also participated in many group exhibitions.

The exhibition, which will remain open until May 23, will be opened by Chairman of Pyla Council, Simos Mytides at 8pm.

All the works for the duration of the exhibition can be seen on the website www.gallerykypriakigonia.com.cy

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
