Charalambides, an artist whose work bridges the ancient and the contemporary, blends classical techniques with modern sensibilities. Educated at the Royal College of Art under Sir Terry Frost, his art is deeply influenced by the rich cultural heritage of Paphos and the broader Mediterranean.

Drawing from Hellenistic myths and Renaissance and Baroque visual languages, his paintings evoke timelessness and transcendence. The restrained palette of golds and browns imbues his work with a metaphysical quality, inviting reflection on history, myth, and spirituality.

A prime example is The Sleeping Adonis, an oil on canvas that captures the mythological figure in serene repose. Signed lower right, the painting merges historical depth with contemporary relevance, showcasing Charalambides’ masterful technique and philosophical depth.

With works held in major public collections, Charalambides has made a significant impact on both the Cypriot and international art scenes.
