Sophie Charalambous is an award-winning London-based artist, whose works on paper ranging from drawing to watercolour and mono-printing, are influenced by her Cypriot roots and inspired by the Island’s flora and fauna, folk art, ancient history and festivals which are re-imagined into these highly personal landscapes.
We asked the artist a few short questions to understand her creative process and inspiration. See her answers below.
‘Landscape, rituals and the cycles of nature.’
‘There is magic in the familiar.’
‘Drawing, watercolour, printmaking.’
‘Bob Dylan.’
‘Kathryn Maple, brilliant painter just won the John Moores prize and has solo shows next year at the Walker Museum and Lindsay Ingram Gallery.’
‘Leonora Carrington at her house in Mexico.’
