Parallel Artistic Explorations: Exhibition by Marios and Anna Varella in Nicosia

The Apokalypsis Gallery in Nicosia is hosting the exhibition "Parallel Artistic Explorations" by Marios and Anna Varella, which will run until January 17, 2026. The exhibition features paintings by both artists, each leaving their own personal mark. Marios Varella focuses on the female figure in surreal environments, using fine lines, sharp features, and collages with fantastical fabrics instead of color. In recent years, he has incorporated geometric shapes into his compositions. Anna Varella, on the other hand, focuses on the mental upliftment, joy, and happiness of people, depicting scenes such as love, enjoying a sweet, relaxing in a cafe, or walking in a park with pets. Her world is idealistic, romantic, and lyrical, rejecting modern lifestyles. Both artists studied at the STROGONOV Academy of Applied Arts in Moscow and have significant experience in solo and group exhibitions in Cyprus and abroad.
