Emotions flow free in oil paint

Georgian artist Natia Chkheidze will showcase her paintings at Apothikes in Larnaca as of Friday.

The painter finished her studies at the Tbilisi Academy of Arts in 2004 and continued her studies in the faculty of Architecture and Interior Design. Her professional career began in December 216 when she had her first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Art Fair at the MuseuMarítim de Barcelona.

The work she will present to the Larnaca crowd was created after a recent trip to Barcelona. Her work at present is mostly done with oil paints. Using a palette knife, she overlays colours using huge smears to create form and volume. Her fast strokes stem from her desire to explore and express her inner emotions.

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.
