"The exhibition showcases the work of fourteen women – Cypriot artists
from different communities, different ethnicities and cultures, who,
apart from the fact that they all live on the island of Cyprus,
they have one thing in common; they all express their emotions,
their feelings and aspirations through Art. The exhibition aims to
demonstrate the diversity between the individual artists, to show
their different styles and artistic expression which is as individual
and unique, as they are as people. They all find their own way to
communicate through their art, sending a message of will to live in
harmony and peace in a reunited island within a multicultural and open
Europe." Daphne Trimikliniotis (President of Cyprus Chamber of Fine
Arts, E .KA.TE.) "The event is specially organised to coincide with
the President of the Republic of Cyprus H.E. Mr Demetris Christophias’
presence in Strasbourg, the statesman who conceived the dream and
made it a vision of his life, to re-unite the long-tormented and
artificially divided island of love." Michalis Stavrinos (Permanent
Representative of the Republic of Cyprus to the Council of Europe.)
