Artist’s statement
Time is continually running and there is a continuous exploration of inside and outside of oneself, which has no alignments. Consistency and hard work. The light comes as a liberation, to reduce the wild anxiety, as well as the sound that calms down the souls. The energy of the colours unfolds like a secret garden that hides one more and different dimension of things and beings.

‘Capricornus’ Exhibition by Pablo | Opening Event
We are glad to announce that we will be hosting ‘Capricornus’ Exhibition by Pablo. The Opening event will be on the 30th of June at 19:30 at our gallery in the heart of Limassol’s city centre.
Pablo has firstly studied a BSc of Biology and then he obtained a Master on Art History. The artist is influenced by various forms of his surroundings, daily life, Art History and fantasy. Pablo’s expressionist works reveals the inner-most architecture of the psyche. Hybrid portraiture, creatures and humanoids emerging from shadows and ethereal landscapes – Subliminal. Exotic. Exquisite. A true Avant Garde, and exponent of the New Gothic! He has been referred to as the anti-philosopher punk artist, and existential revolutionary who reaches for the core of authenticity – this is his revelation – through the unfathomable and eternal imagination.
The Exhibition will last for three days, until the 2nd of July.

SNEAK PEEK: ‘Portrait’ Exhibition | Opening event
Curatorial statement:
“You look happy
You look upset
You look scary
Oh, you look extraordinary!”
There are facial expressions of anger, desperation, chaos and there are others of harmony, happiness, enthusiasm. The ‘Portrait’ exhibition aims to present the various styles, colours, methods and possibilities a portrait could be drawn, painted, sculpted or photographed.
In art, faces, appearances and emotions could be presented as they are, explored and twisted. The creator could create himself/herself, as well as aim to illustrate a loved one, an unknown person or even a creature, or a famous persona! Through people’s faces, the audience could recognize past scars, emotions, social and cultural influences, concerns and many more.
Artists are creating through realistic and abstract methodologies to present how they observe the concept. Artists are exploring colors, forms, images, materials, brush strokes, textures, stitching, crosshatching and many more techniques to present their own perspective and style by creating a face!
