Paphos, Republic of Cyprus
After years of dreaming about art, I finally started painting seriously after moving to Cyprus. The island’s light, colors, and calm helped me reconnect with creativity.
My work is personal and honest — each piece reflects what I see and feel. I paint to share moments of emotion and color with others.

A moment frozen in motion — the sea rising, breaking, breathing.
This painting captures the quiet power and rhythm of the Mediterranean, where the sunlight dances on deep green waves and the horizon stretches beyond thought.
Created in Cyprus, where the artist found new inspiration, the piece invites the viewer to pause, breathe, and feel the timeless dialogue between water, light, and sky.
Layers of emerald and sapphire blend with textured whites, evoking not just the sea’s movement — but its soul.

A quiet fleet glides across still waters, their sails glowing like silk under the changing sky.
This painting captures a fleeting moment — the calm between the wind and the waves, when everything stands in delicate balance.
The soft palette of lavender, teal, and pearl evokes both dream and memory, like a regatta seen through the haze of a summer evening long past.
It is not just about boats — it’s about freedom, stillness, and the beauty of simply moving forward with the wind at your back.
Scarlet Sails

In this evocative and textured piece, a woman in a flowing scarlet dress stands at the edge of the shore, facing the open sea. Her back is turned to the viewer, her long auburn hair and wide-brimmed hat swept by the wind, evoking a sense of movement and anticipation. In the distance, a ship with bold scarlet sails cuts across the horizon — a timeless symbol of dreams, hope, and transformation.
The artist uses bold, expressive palette knife strokes and a vibrant color palette, dominated by fiery reds and deep blues. The sky and sea are rendered with dynamic, sweeping gestures, creating a cinematic atmosphere and emphasizing the emotional tension of the moment.

The Summer You Keep Forever

Bathed in warm golden light, this vibrant scene captures a sunlit street of a coastal town, leading the eye towards a serene bay where white sails glide across the horizon. The sun-soaked walls in shades of ochre and terracotta are contrasted by deep blue shutters and doors, while abundant flowers spill from pots and balconies, filling the air with colour and life.
With its strong perspective, the composition gently draws the viewer into the scene, inviting them to wander down the quiet street and feel the salt-tinged breeze from the open sea. The distant sailboats become symbols of freedom, travel, and the timeless beauty of summer by the coast.
This painting is a celebration of light, warmth, and the memories we carry — the kind of summer you keep forever.
