The Curator of the exhibition, Mr. George Taxiarchopoulos states: “…with the retrospective exhibition of Ms. Daphne Mavrovouniotis-Trimikliniotis, I am closing the cycle of exhibitions that I have curated over the last two years (2024-2025) as the Artistic Director in the Limassol Municipal Arts Centre – Apothikes Papadaki (Papadakis Warehouses). The exhibition presents representative samples from the entire 70-year work career of the painter, which we have distinguished together in 6 dated thematic sections, with 13 sub-sections that contain a total number of more than 120 works of art, but we are only able to exhibit 60 of them at this time. I hope you will enjoy the exhibition and its catalogue and I wish to Ms. Daphne Trimikliniotis good luck. Finally, I wish to the Limassol Arts Centre to maintain and further flourish its strategic role, as developed and implemented by me as its Director, by promoting the selfless contribution as the main duty of the local Cultural and Art Institutions in favor of the artistic and cultural events in Cyprus, especially in Limassol, but also to all the artists and the artistic communities that struggle to exist, promoting their wonderful creative work and creating professional opportunities for all."
