Danae Patsalou

Danae Patsalou (b. 1999, Larnaca) is a Cypriot visual artist based in Nicosia, Cyprus, with a BA degree in Fine Art from Falmouth University and a Masters in Arts and Cultural Management from King’s College London.

Danae’s practice focuses on ideas surrounding culture and heritage in relation to the landscape, presented through a combination of media, mainly drawing, painting and sculpture. Blurring the lines between abstraction and realism in landscape painting, she reflects on Cyprus’s rich and complex history to explore collective and cultural identity, as well as notions of memory, perception and belonging. Her work, delicate, intimate and poignant, is both a personal exploration and an attempt to contribute to the creative discourse surrounding the island’s history, fostering understanding beyond geopolitical boundaries.

Danae is also an art educator involved in various art-based and co-creation workshops. She is particularly interested in bi-communal activities and is a member of the BNCY (Bicommunal Network of Cypriot Youth), which aims to bring all Cypriot students and youth together
