Time is continually running and there is a continuous exploration of inside and outside of oneself, which has no alignments. Consistency and hard work. The light comes as a liberation, to reduce the wild anxiety, as well as the sound that calms down the souls. The energy of the colours unfolds like a secret garden that hides one more and different dimension of things and beings.

Το συνεχές του χρόνου μακρύ και η συνεχής αναζήτηση εντός και εκτός χωρίς ευθυγραμμίσεις. Με συνέπεια και μόχθο. Το φως έρχεται λυτρωτικό, να διαλευκάνει την ατίθαση ανησυχία όπως και ο ήχος που ημερεύει τις ψυχές. Η ενέργεια των χρωμάτων ξετυλίγεται σαν μυστικός κήπος που κρύβει την άλλη διάσταση των πραγμάτων.

‘Capricornus’ Exhibition by Pablo | Opening Event

We are glad to announce that we will be hosting ‘Capricornus’ Exhibition by Pablo. The Opening event will be on the 30th of June at 19:30 at our gallery in the heart of Limassol’s city centre.

Pablo has firstly studied a BSc of Biology and then he obtained a Master on Art History. The artist is influenced by various forms of his surroundings, daily life, Art History and fantasy. Pablo’s expressionist works reveals the inner-most architecture of the psyche. Hybrid portraiture, creatures and humanoids emerging from shadows and ethereal landscapes – Subliminal. Exotic. Exquisite. A true Avant Garde, and exponent of the New Gothic! He has been referred to as the anti-philosopher punk artist, and existential revolutionary who reaches for the core of authenticity – this is his revelation – through the unfathomable and eternal imagination.

The Exhibition will last for three days, until the 2nd of July.
