Phoenix Painting

I was born in London and am of Greek Cypriot heritage. London is the city where I live and work. From the start, drawing and painting from life have been my focus. However, recently I have been questioning my subject matter and how I want to convey it. Nudity is not the principal message, but rather the narrative of the flesh is the story of our individual identities, emotions and lives. We are all collective in this experience, and yet confront these issues uniquely within ourselves, which is something I explore from my own perspective. Conventionally nude art is modestly hung in the bedroom. My aim is to change the sub text for all who care to enjoy and identify with the figurative image. By showing these works, I hope to shift perceptions and play a role in changing age-old attitudes regarding the female nude while simultaneously celebrating womanliness.
