Focusing on the artist’s work, the book represents sample of Rinos Stefani’s work over the past 10 years (1998 – 2008). The book includes 103 paintings categorised in three thematic units; Erotic, Acrobats and Dancers.

“Rinos Stefani’s painting oeuvre essentially begins in the early years of the 1980s – a decade that marked the re-emergence of painting at the forefront of the international visual arts scene, after years of having been overtaken by other art forms…Stefani’s early work carries obvious references to recent traditions – both Cypriot and international…Stefani’s more mature and recognisable as-his-own style begins to appear in works from the 1990s, a time to which Stefani refers to as the “Ultramarine Period”…His mature work is characterised by a consistent expressionism, manifesting itself in the freedom, both in the application of painting on the picture’s surface, and of the design, as well as, in the seemingly naïve quality of the portrayed subjects.”
