Lemesos Old Town

Lemesos Old Town collection is drawn from life, in black pen ink — door by door, balcony by balcony, in the presence of the thing itself. The pen lingers where the eye catches: stone worn by decades gone past, wood worn by the aggressive Cyprus sun, in streets that no longer ask to be noticed. What these drawings keep is not a record but a memory — a past already slipping out of time, held a little longer in ink.

Abstract

Abstract painting is where the work is least bound to the piece seen. Colour, mark and surface follow the mood of the day and the turn of the season — the restraint of winter, the weight of summer light — and each picture is allowed to arrive on its own terms.

67 works

Faces

Faces is where the work turns inward. The same features return again and again — now plainly drawn, now nearly dissolved into wash and splatter — each face another mood of the hand, another way of saying what does not lend itself to words.

50 works

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous gathers the works that keep to no single path — pictures made in passing, between the larger series, each following its own small turn of thought.
