MARINA EMPHIETZI-HARRIS
My work explores issues of time, life and memory.
I am an award winning Greek Cypriot mixed media artist living in North London. I create modern artworks in a distinct semi abstract style inspired mostly by water and the marine environment. I have exhibited in over 30 solo and group exhibitions in such diverse cities as London, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Athens, Nicosia, Miami, Cyprus, Limassol, Addis Ababa, Paphos and New York. My works can be found in many private collections and are a proud part of the public collection of Nicosia National Gallery and have won several awards. The ocean and its waters, full of life and possibility, are a part of my most joyful memories. They are from which I draw inspiration from in my work and why my pieces have the power to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and freedom. A world traveller, I called many places home. The man-made beaches of Dubai, the crowded markets of Ethiopia, and now, the grey skies of London, U.K., each brings their own colour palette to my current work. Created with robust energy, my paintings have playful textures and a distinct style. |
