The life of Stass Paraskos, a pivotal figure in 20th-century Cypriot art, unfolds through his journey from poverty in Cyprus to becoming a prominent artist and educator in England. After emigrating in 1953, he faced legal challenges for his provocative artwork but gained recognition as a teacher in radical art schools during the 1960s. Paraskos founded the Cyprus College of Art in 1969, supported by notable figures like Archbishop Makarious. An exhibition curated by his daughter showcases his diverse works, complemented by insights from his son, Michael Paraskos.
