Description

Aristotelis Demetriou was born in Paphos, Cyprus in 1962. At the age of 20 he entered the Athens School of Fine Arts, to study painting. There he developed his creative talent under the expert tuition of two famous Greek painters, Tetsis and Mytaras.

He chose to concentrate on working in the highly traditional field of landscapes. But like others before him, such as Cezanne, he has something entirely fresh and new to bring to the genre. Revisiting Cubism, he incorporates bold expressionistic strokes of brush and palette knife to celebrate the Cyprian land, its hills and villages while beyond it all is the Mediterranean Sea.

With decisive strokes he builds his compositions, structuring them out of the earth and rocks, with fleeting bright seasonal colours that become eternal reminiscent of special moments in time.

Aristotelis has participated in 25 group exhibitions in both Greece and Cyprus, and his ninth solo show is at Gallery K in Nicosia.
