Photographer Silvio Augusto Rusmigo presents “Storing Light”, an exhibition drawn from his ongoing photographic project Aspelia Naturalis, at NYX Hotel Limassol, opening on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

The opening event will take place from 7.30-10pm, with a cocktail reception from 7.30pm, while the exhibition will remain on view until October 10, 2026.

Marking the first presentation of Aspelia Naturalis in Limassol, the exhibition invites visitors to experience Cyprus through a slower, more intimate lens — revealing the island’s diverse landscapes, rich biodiversity and cultural heritage through a perspective that moves beyond familiar postcard imagery.

About the exhibition

Storing Light draws from Aspelia Naturalis, an ongoing photographic exploration of Cyprus shaped by years of observation, travel and a deep connection to place.

The exhibition presents a carefully-curated selection of images, including works from the award-winning photographic publication Aspelia Naturalis, alongside photographs being shown publicly for the first time.

Together, the images invite visitors to reconnect with the landscapes that define Cyprus and to recognise the importance of protecting them for generations to come.

As part of this commitment, 15 per cent of the exhibition’s proceeds will be donated to BirdLife Cyprus, supporting the conservation of the island’s birds, habitats and biodiversity.
