Michael Khripin
Michael Khripin is a mixed media artist from Russia who has lived in Cyprus for several years. He is fascinated by the breathtaking views and beautiful nature surrounding his home in Limassol, a town on the southern coast of Cyprus. His paintings are an attempt to capture and share his observations and impressions of life on a Mediterranean island. He says, ‘’The series of my abstract works are a result of letting out the emotions and thoughts during meditation-like sessions, that serve as a form of therapy to help me keep feeling myself in the present moment.’’
Michael uses an array of materials in his work, including acrylic paint, pencils, pastels and even tea and coffee. He has spent his life as an artist, continually practising and developing his craft. His training began at a school of fine arts, and he developed his drawing skills at Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design. He enjoys participating in exhibitions and recently showed his work at Sneak Peek Multispace, Nicosia, Cyprus.
