I am a Cypriot visual artist and performer working between Milan (IT) and Nicosia (CY). I
studied Fine Arts at Brera Academy, where I later had my MA in
Costume Design.
I
started out as a painter but later focused on video and performance. For the
past five years, I have been concentrating on textiles, with a particular interest in the art of embroidering. From 2016 to 2020 I worked as a textile specialist in the Fashion and Textile laboratory of NABA Academy in Milan.
STATEMENT:
My work revolves around the intimate dimension of
the passing of time and the process of familiarization with finding a
corresponding physical space. It focuses on a personal suspension of time,
which lies beyond the space limits of a universal perception of time. I measure time
modifications of a cycle. Embroideries, installations, videos, photographs,
performances, follow the traces of the origin.
I see the origin not only as a native stigma of birthplace but also as a pretext to introduce a social and anthropological analysis of the human being. I measure the body free of obligations, beyond impositions and formal titles, to identify Cell-ular beings.
