My name is Anastasios Anastasiou and was born in London in 1988, I moved to Cyprus with my family in 1992. This early relocation to such a vibrant and historically rich island significantly influenced my artistic and creative development. Cyprus, with its blend of ancient traditions and stunning natural landscapes, became the backdrop for my exploration of various forms of artistic expression.From a young age, I was captivated by the world of creation. Books, image text designs, and visual art became my passions, and I dedicated myself to mastering these mediums. The local culture of Cyprus, steeped in mythology and folklore, along with my personal beliefs and the inspiring beauty of Mother Nature, profoundly shaped my creative outlook. My work reflects a deep connection to these elements, weaving them into every piece I create.As a father of two wonderful children, I find endless inspiration in the joys and challenges of parenthood. My experiences as a parent have taught me about resilience, love, and the simple pleasures of life, themes that frequently emerge in my writing and art. My children’s curiosity and boundless energy remind me to stay passionate and engaged with the world, and I strive to channel these feelings into my creative endeavours.My journey is one of continuous learning and expression, celebrating life's complexities and beauty through various forms of art. I invite you to join me on this journey, to explore the worlds I create, and to find resonance and inspiration in the stories and images I share.In closing, may we embrace unconditional love, empathy, and forgiveness, as these are the true cornerstones of our shared humanity, guiding us toward a more compassionate and understanding world.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
