Hailing from Cyprus, much of my work explores aspects of Greek history and mythology. I am particularly interested in the relationships between the ancient and the contemporary – how the ancient cultures of the region have evolved and what insights we can gain from their study. Although I consider myself an artist who works across a range of media and processes I have recently been focusing on lens based media‐and in particular photography and video. My recent works include a series of photographs and films that each focus upon a figure from Greek Mythology. In these works I have attempted to distill the essence of these characters through contemporary media and settings to create ambiguous images, videos and performance that straddle the ancient and the modern worlds. In each of the works I attempt to connect these representations, on a personal level, with situations or events from my own life‐as a kind of metaphor for my experiences‐that also link into the epic themes from Greek mythology.
