Aristos Christoforou is a contemporary figurative artist whose work explores the powerful relationship between the human form, movement, and emotion. Drawing inspiration from classical art and mythology, he blends traditional techniques with contemporary surrealism to create striking compositions that exist between realism and abstraction. Through expressive gestures, dynamic figures, and rich textures in oil and charcoal, his works invite viewers to reflect on identity, resilience, and transformation.

His work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions across Cyprus and Europe, and is held in private and corporate collections internationally. Beyond painting, his creative practice extends to tattoo art, installations, illustration, and design, reflecting a versatile and evolving artistic vision.

He invites viewers to engage with his art and become part of its unfolding narrative.
