CYPRUS EX ALTIS

A view from above of Cyprus, which started its course through the centuries with a hefty dowry given to it by Greek mythology; this is the theme of this album. Aphrodite’s presence has been irrevocably bound to the island, taking up the name “Cypris”, among many others. The photographs taken from above at a specific season impart a uniform seasonal style to the whole and attest to the numerous works of love that the Cypriots left behind in the various phases of their passing through the land. Aesthetics and colour have the main role. However, nature also has a voice. On the works and the environment have been etched man’s character and toils, dedication and interest, love and tenderness, the influence of the ancient goddess and the memory of the power granted by the native land.
