This painting was created at the end of 1972/beginning of
1973 in Bellapais, exploring the rocky coastline at the foot of
the Kyrenia Mountains.
Toni Spiteris comments on the painting:
Joachims sensuous temperament is expressed by the
enhancement of colour and shape inspired directly from
nature. He transposes a basic element such as an organic
form into a symbol of universal meaning signifying the
cycle of life he makes us participate in this universal
meaning by creating an environment in which undulating
and harmonic structures follow one another in a continuous
wave-like motion.
In 1974, Die Welt newspaper commented on the exhibition
at Europa Gallery, W. Berlin:

Katy Stefanides was born in Limassol in 1925. Between
1948 and 1955 she studied at The Higher School of Fine
Arts, Athens under Yannis Moralis. Later, between 1956 and
1960, she continued her studies at St. Martins School of Art
in London.
er contact with the modernist currents that lourished in
Europe during the 50s and 60s not only freed the creative
horizon of Stephanides, but brought her to the heart of her
artistic pursuits rom the irst sketches to pArt, from
cubism to constructivism and abstract geometric painting,
by combining the abstract with the igurative to still life and
metaphysical allegory, this inluence is prominent
Her work can be seen at: The State Gallery of
Contemporary Cypriot Art, The Bank of Cyprus Cultural
Centre Foundation, The Limassol Municipal Gallery and
The Archbishop Makarios III Foundation-cultural centre
in Thessaloniki University, The National Bank of Greece,
Andros Gallery and in several private collections in Greece,
Cyprus and the United Kingdom.
The majority of her work during the early 1970s is
distinguished by the geometry of the shape, plasticity and
sturdy design. Stephanides painting continued developing
within geometric abstraction, until the political and military
events of 1974. This milestone in modern Cypriot history is
also a turning point in modern Cypriot art as well a turning
point in Stephanides work. This important painting was
executed right at the peak and end of this golden era.

of mixed materials These works relect the leading trends of
art at the time, namely abstract expressionism.

Brussels, in 1990 at the Museo de la Giutat, Valencia, in
1991 at Gallery K, London.
Marina Lambraki-Plaka comments on this series of paintings
by etzikof titled OMENS: Cosmogony or annihilation? A
beginning or an end? What agonised, convulsive gestation
gives birth to chaos in Yannis etzikofs latest paintings
The tide, that I think best describes the sensation.
Silent expanses of undulating sand, holding in its folds,
suspended, the menace of the storm. Large expanses of
sand, strewn here and there with half-buried wreckage of a
world once inhabited by ethereal creatures, elusive image
and fantastic deceptions: iridescent silks, precious stones
and lashes of gold
His work can be seen at the collection of The National
Gallery, Greece and in a large number of public and private
collections in Greece, Cyprus and abroad.

This painting is one of four portraits that survive from
aleas irst period (111) The other three being
Maleas self-portrait in The Perdios Collection, a Van Dyck
copy and a Rubens copy (originals in the Louvre).
This work was acquired in from Danai Kozanoglou,
which she inherited from her mother, the Constantinople
artist Aliki EimanidouKozanoglou Alikiss parents
bought the summer house of the Maleas Family in Halki,
Constantinople together with two works, this portrait and a
still life that was auctioned with Stavros Mihalarias Art on
18/3/1991.
Taking into account that Maleas did not accept portrait
commissions and that this painting hung in the Maleas
summer house, this indicates that the portrait is of a person
close and dear to Maleas. Some surviving family members
conirmed that the lady on this portrait has characteristics
of the Maleas family and other indicated this person to be
Athena Maleas, sister of the artist. The frame on the reverse
has a stamp from a shop in Paris indicating that the work
was painted in Paris around 1900, at the time when Athena
lived in Paris and was married to a rench military oficer
The importance of this painting is that it is an early example
of Maleas work indicating his skills, before becoming one of
the most important Post-impressionist Greek painters.
This work is accompanied by:
1. A letter of sale passing ownership of the painting from
Danai Kozanoglou, the previous owner to the current owner.
2. Authenticity report from Stavros Mbaltoyannis, dated

In 1931 he graduated from The Pancyprian Gymnasium
and moved to Paris. He began his studies in 1937 at the
cole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, where he studied architecture
and ine art is teachers were Tony arnier and Auguste
Perret. Due to the Second World War, he had to stop his
studies for two years. He received a Diploma of Architecture
in 1945 and returned to Cyprus, where he worked as an
architect and artist.
In 1969 the French government honoured Charilaos Dikaios
as a Chevalier de lordre des arts et des lettres.
He has shown his work in a number of solo exhibitions: in
1965 at The Educational Hall, in 1966 in Lyon, France, in
1968 at Hilton Gallery, in 1976 in Lyon, France and French
Educational Center, Nicosia, in 1977 at Heidelberg and Argo

In The allegory of war - Cyprus 1974, painted in 1990,
Dikaios returns to a subject that haunted him throughout his
life: The 1974 Turkish Invasion of Cyprus. In this emotionally
powerful work the cause of the division of the Cypriot nation
is shown and on an allegorical level the brutality of war
exerted between a small island and a powerful neighbouring
country.

Dimitris Yeros was born in 1948. He is an artist and
photographer and one of the most inluential reek artists of
his generation
e has held more than ifty solo exhibitions in reece
and abroad: in Kln, Dsseldorf, New York, Kassel,
Strasbourg, Heidelberg, Nicosia, Mannheim, Milan, Berlin,
and elsewhere. He has also participated in numerous
international group exhibitions, Biennials and Triennials in
many parts of the world.
Many of his graphics have been published by leading art
editors. In 1987, UNICEF chose his work The Dangers of
Curiosity to print on cards for international circulation.
Lauren E. Talalay, Acting Director and Associate Curator,
Kelsey Museum, University of Michigan states: Dimitris
Yeros stands as a unique igure in contemporary art
Painter, photographer, poet and performance artist, Yeros
bridges these worlds with exceptional originality. He is,
however, best known as a painter and photographer,
creating lyrical and surreal paintings and provocative and
richly textured photographs. Although he approaches these
two media from different vantage points, one can detect
a painterly eye in his photographs and a photographers
sensibility in his paintings. The results are beautifully crafted
and arresting images that beckon the viewer to pause and
contemplate the human condition.
Works by Dimitris Yeros are to be found in many private
collections, galleries and museums both in Greece and
abroad, inclding: The British Museum and The National
Portrait Gallery in London, The Getty Museum in Los
Angeles, The International Center of Photography in New
York, The Tama Art University Museum in Tokyo.
