And the art goes on

For art lovers out there, there are still a number of artists going solo in exhibitions throughout the island.

Still on at the Thalassa, Municipal Museum of the Sea in Ayia Napa is the solo painting exhibition entitled Instinctively by Despina Karyou.

Karyou, from Paralimni, studied Graphic Arts and Advertising at European University and went on to study at the Athens School of Fine Arts. After graduating she started working on her own art projects while also being an art professor.

She has participated in a number of group exhibitions in Greece. Since returning to Cyprus, the artist has worked with, and contributed to, many art activities all over the island.

Gallery Morfi in Limassol continues to host a collection of paintings by Andreas Nicolaou under the name The Girl with the Fan.
The theme behind this collection is that of romanticism and the escape from the routine of everyday things.

Nicolaou has showcased his work in 40 solo exhibitions in museums and galleries in Greece, Cyprus and elsewhere. His work can be viewed in public collections in such places as The National Gallery in Athens and in the State Collection of Contemporary Art in Nicosia.

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.
