Daphne Christoforou

Hello! I am a visual artist from Cyprus, with a particular focus on illustration. I am a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London and was awarded the V&A Student Illustrator of the Year Award and the Adobe Achievement Award in 2015. My work is narrative-driven and revolves around Buddhist teachings concerning undesired impulses and emotions, observed human interaction and behaviour, as well as personal worriments. My artistic process begins with drawing and writing, which is later developed into ceramic and sometimes textile pieces. I find the process of producing art both transformative and assuaging, not only because of the enjoyable process of generating pictorial representations, but also due to the possibility of channelling captivating observations and emotions through narrative work.
