She has been involved in art since she was a child In 2020 she decided to deal only with portraits She always mixes materials and techniques, seeks asymmetry and dark backgrounds to help the viewer focus on the countless emotions and stories that can be captured in the gaze, grimaces and lines of each person's face She has participated in four group exhibitions and one of her works has won the first prize in a competition She is a member of the PanCypriot Association of Artists "Art Without Borders"
Manuela Gagidis is a multidimensional artist that creates dazzling paintings, mostly of women, using lyrics, mixed media, and her favorite liquid, coffee She shares stories and tries to inspire her viewers to dig deeper and feel the artwork by merging her vision and a profound sense of gratitude for life with techniques from art therapy In so-called artcoaching sessions, which combine art class and art therapy techniques, she conveys her artistic philosophy and language
Despite the many color palettes of coffee and its beauty, Manuela enjoys using coffee in her watercolor paintings because it brings back her greatest childhood memories Making coffee brought family and friends together in the morning or the afternoon to chat and enjoy life In order to connect with the emotion behind a narrative and share this personal and joyful experience with an audience outside of herself, she began to use coffee with her brush With a splash of it, some color, some lyrics, some acrylic markers, and some objects made of gold, silver, and copper, Manuela produces really powerful paintings As a viewer, you are drawn into this warm, intimate, and friendly moment.
