About Andreas Stylianou:

Andreas Stylianou (Cypriot, b.1990) is a contemporary artist currently based in Cyprus. After studying at the Architectural Association in London, he went on to earn a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in London and IE Business School in Madrid.

Stylianou’s artistic practice involves exploring a variety of mediums to give life to a previously dormant world. The work evolves through a succession of pieces that express biographical narratives through popular characters, vibrant colours, and techniques that draw upon his architectural background.

Through a combination of intuitive mark-making and meditative painting techniques, the artworks capture the essence of self in relation to time, intersecting with a retrospective examination of contemporary pop culture. The work invites viewers to join him on a journey of self-discovery and contemplation.

Stylianou has participated in several exhibitions in the US, UK, Italy, Hong Kong, and Cyprus.
