THE COLOR OF CYPRUS
Exhibition Theme
Color is not only a visual element, but also a sensation: light, warmth, air, depth, and the energy of a place.
Be sure to reflect this color accent in your work — one or several — through which the “tone of Cyprus” is expressed. This can be a background, line, shape, or compositional element.
Essence
Choose a color that conveys the atmosphere of the island — its nature, architecture, people, and cultural codes — or your own emotions and feelings.
