In the old neighbourhood of Ayioi Omologites is a hub for creativity. The Aigaia School of Art and Design besides running classes for children and adults also hosts the Aigaia Art Gallery which showcases local art. This May, the Nicosia Gallery will present the work of contemporary visual artist, Anna Alexandrou, in an exhibition with the aim to reintroduce her work to the public with a selection from all of her art.

Her work, purely experiential, is an illustrated diary of experiences which, through various symbols, narrates, among other things, her story. Anna’s works are accessible and multi-layered, providing both visual satisfaction and a reason for dialogue, something that the creator herself has always sought.

“Through my works,” she said in 2015, “this is a game of composition, colour, material, emptiness and fullness on a surface. I experiment with different materials, like fabrics, paper, threads, sewing, letters, words, symbols and anything that helps me to visually compose what I am trying to say.”
