STAVROS GEORGIOU

Stavros Georgiou (born in Cyprus in 1972) is a self-taught contemporary artist, Artistic Director and founder of cultural diplomacy projects. His work is deeply influenced by his experiences of war, displacement and loss. Originally from Kyrenia, he became a refugee following the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. His family’s suffering, including the loss of an uncle who remained missing for decades, profoundly shaped his artistic vision and commitment to peace and human rights.

Now based in Greece, his work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Greece, Cyprus and internationally. He is a registered member of the Hellenic and Cypriot Chambers of Fine Arts.

Through sculpture and painting, he explores peace, human and animal rights, transforming personal experiences of pain into powerful artistic statements. Through his artistic practice and cultural diplomacy initiatives, he seeks to promote international dialogue, raise awareness and inspire empathy, justice, compassion and respect for all living beings. At the heart of his philosophy lies the belief that even in the face of suffering, humanity must never lose its capacity for hope.
