Description:

Born in Bucharest, Romania and moved to Munich in 1970, graphic designer, did woodblock work, wall painting, musical and theatrical activities. The artist spent some time in Cyprus pre-1974 and was a friend with the Cypriot painter Adamantios Diamantis. She was an ethnographer intrigued by the Cypriot culture and life and tried to adopt her work and her titles to reflect Cyprus. The woodprint depicts an ascending road to an almost barren hill overseen by circling birds. The vegetation is typical of Cyprus comprising of old olive trees, tall upright cypresses and cactus bushes. Most probably, the ‘red hill’ alludes to the redness of the soil.
