I began my career in art late in life and consequently feel as though I have a lot of catching up to do - there are so many exciting things to experiment with - materials, images, ideas and concepts. For some years now, since my year at the Cyprus College of Art, I have been working mainly with oil paint, using the figure and its movement as source material. I tend to prefer transparent paints I like to exploit its translucency and the way it allows the history of the canvas to show through.

This preference is the direct consequence of the lithographic work that I did during an eight month long Fellowship in Stone Lithography at Sion Hill, Bath Spa University College. Then the work was more abstract in nature, with particular emphasis on the quality of the drawn mark, derived from impressions received from the Dorset countryside, where I was living at the time.

Currently, as yet another new life enters my world I am at the beginning of an exploration of abstract/conceptual ways in which to explore concepts of family and lineage - which is, in effect, simply another aspect of historical layers - transformation and the transference of energy. At the same time I have begun to make work on acetate - another medium that allows for an exploration of layering, the casting of shadows and the image plane.

These days I live and work in the heart of the Cyprus countryside, where I have a dedicated space for work in the house next door, at Studio 7.
