urged to read the world by means of fluidity. We

Jazz Players byAnetta Stylianou
“Through the experience of music, humans exist
at a single instance in the past, in the present and in
the future, for the experience of music requires that
we know what sound came before, what sound is
now and what sound will come next. In this paint-
ing I contrasted the brilliance of cool against warm
colours to accentuate the freshness in the air and
the joy of walking in a park on a sunny day. I ap-
plied the brushstrokes to give texture to the forms
and to convey a musical rhythm. Harmony, unity
and enjoyment are reflected on the faces of the
musicians and, through their music, are given to
their audience.”
Anetta Stylianou was born in Zimbabwe and
graduated from Salisbury Polytechnic. She
immigrated to Cyprus in 1977. She has been
awarded Honours from the Rhodesia Institute
of Allied Arts and has taken part in numerous
exhibitions in Cyprus and abroad.
Us Too Are Of Great Origin! by Stavros Anto-
nopoulos
“Small, personal and ‘private monuments’ inspired
by the famous Greek sepulchral columns of the 4
th
century BC. It is an attempt to declare and signify
the importance of the human being, to safeguard
his presence here, on the planet, and to defend the
human entity and his or her individuality. Tired, in-
different and disappointed, clinical and cold human
beings in a state of lethargy or in transition, waiting
for a change, waiting to wake into a better and more
decent future, waiting to find a place to fit in.”
