Marios Loizides

he studied painting and lithography at St. Martin's School of Art, London, between 1951 and 1954, together with courses in stage and costume design.

He moved to Greece in 1958 and, working exclusively as a painter, lived on the island of Hydra from 1961 until his death in 1988.

Loizides held more than 10 solo exhibitions during his lifetime, notably in London, Brussels, Athens, and Nicosia.

In 2002, a large retrospective exhibition of his work was held at the State Gallery of Contemporary Cypriot Art in Nicosia.

His artistic aim was to present not the world of the senses but rather the deeper immanent unity of the universe, hence his visionary approach to art.
