Evarte
Evangelina Mavrina is a Russian art manager and multimedia artist based in Cyprus, known for her deep expertise in the art world. As a manager, she seamlessly blends her knowledge of buying, selling, creating, and curating art, with a passion for guiding both emerging and established artists.
She believes that “Art is the highest form of hope” (Gerhard Richter) and brings this philosophy to her curatorial work, creating spaces for reflection, connection, and transformation.
The Evarte Gallery will be exhibiting the works of six prominent artists:
Ludmilla Budanov is an artist based in Cyprus who has exhibited her paintings nationally, as well as in the Netherlands, China, and Taiwan. Being a professional musician, it is important for her to translate tempo, rhythm, and tonality through her pictorial works. Budanov endeavors to express opposing movements and inconsistencies through vibrant shades of color. Inspired by the sea, her underwater abstract landscapes often depict actinias, a water flower.
Nata Chebarkova is a Russian abstract artist based in Cyprus. Her work centers on themes of inner freedom, self-realization, and breaking internal boundaries. Through bold experimentation with materials and forms, she sees abstraction as a path to spiritual connection, offering strength, hope, love, and light.
Constantinos Hadjidemetri is an illustrator, animator, and creative director whose practice operates between commercial image making and independent artistic production. His work is driven by the belief that powerful imagery does not explain, but suggests, producing visual statements that communicate through instinct, tension, and emotional resonance. A graduate of Fine Arts in Rome and Animation in Barcelona, and currently also a lecturer in illustration at the Cyprus Academy of Arts, Constantinos creates not to please everyone, but to connect with those drawn to work that refuses to dilute its voice.
George Patsalides, born in Famagusta, is an action artist rooted in abstract expressionism. His work emphasizes the raw energy of the painting process, often incorporating everyday or discarded materials. Central to his art is the nude female form, explored through expressive gestures and spontaneous experimentation. He has exhibited widely in Cyprus, with works held in private collections.
Alexander Radtke is a contemporary artist and creative innovator who left a promising IT career to dedicate himself to art. Self-taught in drawing and painting, his work has ranged from portraits and landscapes to abstraction, with oil painting as his primary medium for exploring form, color, and light. A turning point came when he was invited to a festival in Germany, which deepened his connection to abstractionism and inspired works designed to evoke emotion rather than intellect. His experiments led to the concept of "spirituality in art," integrating Buddhist practices and Dao philosophy into his creative Speaks.
Marta Shkedi is a multidisciplinary designer, visual artist, musician, and mother. She works across photography, painting, and digital media, creating experimental pieces and visually engaging that explore the boundaries of format, perception, and materiality. She studied graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and Warsaw. Her artistic perspective was further shaped by a scholarship at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.
