9 January 2026 – 30 January 2026Gloria Gallery presents the exhibition of Stephanos Philippou and Anastasia Sivkova, titled “ANAMNESIS.” The exhibition features drawings, watercolours, and canvases, through which the two artists explore memory as a living, fragile, and constantly shifting experience.
An opening event will be held at Gloria Gallery on Friday, 9 January 2026, at 19:30.
Exhibition Theme
At the heart of the exhibition lies the artists’ shared intention to capture moments before they fade. Each work functions as a fragment of memory, shaped by personal experiences, emotions, and sensory impressions.
Whether precise or expressive, the artworks act as visual traces of places, moods, and fleeting moments that have left their mark. Through colour, texture, and line, the artists propose a deep, introspective exploration of memory - how it forms, dissolves, and re-emerges.
The exhibition invites the viewer not only to observe, but also to remember.

Artist Biographies
Stephanos Philippou
Stephanos Philippou (b. 1984, Nicosia) is an architect and artist who complements his 15-year architectural career with a highly expressive artistic practice. Of Cypriot, Serbian, and French descent, his work reflects a lifelong passion for creation, beginning with childhood sketches and evolving through experimentation with a wide range of traditional and digital media.
Working with watercolour, graphite, pastel, charcoal, and acrylics, Stephanos captures ephemeral moments, moods, and textures. His art is driven by a desire to preserve memories and sensations, drawing inspiration from architecture and art history. His works serve as vivid records of the sensory and emotional world that surrounds him.

Anastasia Sivkova
Anastasia Sivkova (b. 1988, Taksimo) is a self-taught artist whose practice is rooted in a deep and enduring love for painting. From her early childhood sketches to her current work, she has shaped an independent artistic voice guided by curiosity, experimentation, and an intuitive understanding of colour and mood.
Working primarily with acrylic, oil, watercolour, and gouache, she draws inspiration from nature - its textures, rhythms, and quiet beauty. Her paintings unfold through subtle, intentional details that invite close observation. Her art functions as a personal archive of an ongoing search for beauty in simplicity, in the spark of the moment, and in the act of creation itself.
