Pitzolu, Lynette

I studied fine art at Central Saint Martins and later at the Cyprus College of Art.

My practice brings together figurative painting, the raw energy of street art and fragments of personal history. I work intuitively across mediums acrylic, spray paint, collage and watercolour on paper, canvas, wood panels and found objects, guided as much by chance as by intention. Lately, my focus has turned toward the past. I’ve been revisiting old family photographs, images left behind by voices no longer present attempting to reimagine and reconnect to explore memory, absence, and emotional inheritance, so I paint to give them voice.

I’m as excited by the unknown as I am by the outcome. Experimentation, accidents and mark-making are central to how I work. Each piece is a negotiation between control and chaos, memory and imagination.This is a practice grounded in open-endedness. It doesn’t seek to resolve, but to hold space for what is remembered, what is forgotten, what can only be felt and sit with what we will never know.
