“My work is about a visual exploration of how I see nature and the environment. I see nature in a stark documentary way in an attempt to examine it deeply to its core essence, without sentimentality or romance.”
British Photographer, Despina Kyriacou studied Fine Art and specialized in Photography during the final year of her degree course (1982-85).
"I used photography as a means of expression and have been preoccupied with it ever since."
