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 artist depicts a typical rural scene of threshing much attested in the Cypriot countryside. The threshing floor is delineated by a circular array of stones; providing the site for a villager to thresh with the help of his wife. Once again, the role of the Cypriot woman as a labourer is highlighted in accordance with the norms found in the countryside seconded by the use of animals such as the donkey.
