« "The way to push painting to a deeper level is through abstraction. It is not an alternative but a path towards reality's core." »
Mary Papas is an award-winning painter who was born in Egypt and currently resides in South Africa. She has exhibited her art nationally and in Ireland. Current themes in her series and pieces include abstract cityscapes, environmental awareness, lush country landscapes, and still life. Papas’ abstract-expressionist style is translated onto canvas using thick oil paints and a palette knife.
