Andrea Evangelou
Andrea Evangelou (b. 1991, Cyprus) is a visual artist whose work explores the expressive possibilities of painting. She earned a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy, in 2014. Today, she lives and works in Limassol, Cyprus, and has exhibited internationally in the USA, Austria, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus.

Evangelou’s practice is centered on the materiality of paint. Through a process-driven approach, she investigates how paint can create texture, illusion, and emotion. Each brushstroke becomes an act of discovery, a way of questioning and expanding the language of painting. Rather than focusing on storytelling or sentiment, her compositions invite quiet reflection and contemplation of deeper, sometimes ambiguous emotional states.

"As a person, I appreciate melodrama, quietness, and simplicity," Evangelou explains. "When I step back from a finished painting, I want the viewer’s satisfaction to reflect back to me, while the curiosity that shaped each work extends to them."

Evangelou’s work resists easy categorization, balancing clarity and mystery, restraint and intensity. Her canvases create spaces where surface and depth, gesture and silence coexist. For Evangelou, painting is not just a medium but an ongoing exploration of form, feeling, and perception.

She has held several solo exhibitions, beginning with Welt der Träume (2010) in Berlin and Soul Discovery (2011) in Cyprus. After returning to Cyprus, she presented Sun. Sea. Sand. (2017), a meditation on the natural environment, and most recently The Life That Stood Still (2021), which reflected on the shared global experience of the pandemic.

Evangelou continues to explore how painting can serve as a personal and collective space of introspection, inviting viewers to pause, observe, and feel.

Elena Anastasiou Neocleous
Elena Anastasiou Neocleous is a contemporary Cypriot artist and educator whose practice explores the psychological effects of modern life, particularly in relation to silence, focus, and digital saturation. She holds a BA in Business Management from Kingston University and an MA in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts (UK). Her background in business and marketing informs her structured yet intuitive approach to art-making. Elena has presented solo exhibitions such as Power Plays at the Larnaca Municipal Theatre (2020), Bread Dolce Stitch at Kypriaki Gonia Gallery (2021), Peace and Chaos at The OGallery (2022), and In Bound at Lumiere Gallery (2024). She has been teaching art at TIME Private Institute since 2016, where she nurtures creativity in young students.
