Stass Paraskos’s Places
Cyprus College of Art

The private viewing at 33 Mehmet Ali Street, Larnaca continued throughout the week. Popping in on the Tuesday I noticed the wonderful building was still throbbing with energy.

Every space was full of work. A whole room was full of paintings and drawings of nudes; some completed some in progress. Artist and teacher Andros Efstathiou took me around.

"Founded in 1969 the Cyprus College of Art is unlike any other art college in Europe and offers a highly creative environment in which students are treated first and foremost as adult human beings. Our courses are taught in small groups so tutors can identify individual needs and help achieve ambitions in the worlds of art and design. Cyprus College of Art tutors are all professional artists who exhibit around the world, and have work in collections raging from the State Collection of Modern Art in Cyprus to the Tate Gallery in London. They will seek to guide you as mentors rather than telling you what you can and cannot do"
