Margaret Frances Paraskos (born 1959) is an English-born artist of Cypriot descent and a resident in Cyprus.
She attended Chartham County Secondary Modern School in Kent, England, and went on to study Fine Art at the University of Brighton.
According to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini her work is 'inspired by philosophy, mythology, the poetry of Homer and Ovid and the bucolic life'.
This includes the exhibition 'Travellers to an Antique Land', held in Paphos in Cyprus in March 2015, which took its theme from the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias.
'[5] This poetic approach to painting was noted by Dr. Nadia Anaxagorou, writing on Margaret Paraskos's work in 2012, who stated: 'In a painterly universe, where the rules of order, proportion and gravity are eliminated... one figure emerges from each other in passages where reality and logic meet dreams and the imagination'.
