RINOS STEFANI CHALLENGING THE VIEWING OF TRADITION

Cyprus Mail, November 1986

Rinos Stefani is challenging the viewing of tradition both in form and theme. His well-laboured thrust creates at best daring combinations of colour attracting and sustaining the eye. Although the artist himself attributes much of his themes to the rural life of his home region, Paphos, he is not offering us static descriptions but dynamic compositions suggesting lyricism on the part of the artist. This young painter is genuinely in search of art in Cyprus.
