Delivering Views #27 - Postcard Pack / ''Jamming, dancing, fighting for peace and for their rights'' / ''Χορεύοντας, παλεύοντας για τα δικαιώματα τους''

"When I first arrived in Nicosia, as many travelers during covid times, I had to isolate for 14 days.

I took these two weeks as an opportunity to discover the city from home, catching the feelings of the surrounding buildings with my gouache tubes and brushes.

A PCR test later, I was finally free. However, I didn’t quit my sketchbook…. I got a bit away from architecture to focus more on small scenes of life : my friends, people at a café, at the beach, on a waiting line for rapid tests, jamming, dancing, fighting for peace and for their rights.

I consider my sketchbooks as a material extension of my memory. My aim is not to create photo-realistic drawings. It is more about catching an energy, an emotion…

When I draw, I’m in connection with my environment, for example if it’s dark and music is playing, the sound will have an impact on my gesture…. I find it’s a very liberating way to create.

It’s been one year now I am in Cyprus and I’m glad to celebrate this birthday with the launch of a new series of postcards based on my work, for Delivering Views at Phaneromenis 70 ! Hope you will enjoy it!" Maud Nivet

Αυτές είναι κάποιες περιγραφές των Κύπριων ανθρώπων, από τη Γαλλίδα εικαστικό Maud Nivet. Η οπτική που έχει για την Κύπρο απαθανατίζεται σε μικρά σκίτσα, και η Φανερωμένης 70 φέρνει και ζωντανεύει αυτές τις ερμηνείες μέσα από καρτ ποστάλ.
