Sotiris Sotiriou

Sotiris Sotiriou was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. He studied Painting in the School of Fine Arts at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece under the supervision of Yiannis Fokas.
He has also attended Etching, Photography classes, Psycology and Art Psychoherapy.
Most of his works regard the use of acrylic and oil on canvas. His art moves between pop-art and neo-expressionism. He is interested in simplicity, the purity of colors and the pleasant feeling of form-and-color balance. Sotiris Sotiriou depicts everyday life through the reformation of images originating from the supraliminal and subliminal stimuli present in his mundane life.
He has participated in numerous group exhibitions. The last one took place in the "Cheapart" group exhibition at the CAMP! Contemporary Art Meeting Point in Athens, Greece, 2012.
Sotiris Sotiriou has won five awards for his artistic work.
