Description

Maria Tourou was born in Famagusta, Cyprus. She studied painting, drawing and lithography in London, Italy and the United States of America. (Hammersmith School of Art and Building, London 1960-1966, Positano Art Workshop, Italy 1962-1963. Lithography at Marylebone Art Institute, London 1966, Campden Art Institute 1973 and the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C. 1983.

Her work moves around the frame of abstraction and surrealism with symbolic prolongations. In her paintings which are distinguished by the rich colour graduations she adds a dreamy character and a metaphysical dimension equivalent to psychical situations, tension and emotional agony. She has exhibited over 27 times and has taken part in many group exhibitions at home and abroad. Her work can be found in many private and public collections around the world.
