Artist Anna Achilleos-Staeubli’s vibrant new exhibition, titled ‘Mesogeios,’ invites viewers on a captivating journey through the Mediterranean Sea. Opening on June 7th and running until June 29th at Nicosia’s Marginalia Gallery, the show features 40 stunning encaustic paintings (an ancient wax-based technique) that capture the essence of the sea in all its depth and glory.
Achilleos-Staeubli, who has been actively creating art since 2000, draws inspiration from the Mediterranean’s significance to both Greece and Cyprus. Her paintings transport viewers across various regions, from the Aegean and Ionian Seas to the Black Sea and beyond. The breathtaking array of blues used throughout the exhibition reflects the vastness of the ocean, while symbolic imagery of shells and mythical creatures adds another layer of intrigue.
Driven by a passion for color, form, and the sea’s boundless energy, Achilleos-Staeubli’s artwork is a testament to the power of encaustic art. This exhibition marks a homecoming of sorts for the artist, following a string of successful solo and group exhibitions across Europe.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the captivating beauty of the Mediterranean through the eyes of a talented artist!
