Marija Constantinou
Born: 1975
Hometown: Protaras
Based in: Cyprus
I am Serbian born artist living in Cyprus. My interest in art started from very early age. I trained with several renowned Serbian artists in classic painting, drawing and stained glass, but found my true passion in abstract painting. I am a qualified nurse, but in 2008 decided to give it up, so I can pursue my art career.
I enjoy discovering new techniques and ways to express myself. My work is expressive, dynamic and and colorful, and is representing my thoughts and feelings during the painting and is greatly affected by the music I choose to listen in that process. Art for me is a way of life, it's never ending source of power that keeps me going...
