Biography

Eugenia Chicu Touma- A NATURE LOVING ARTIST

Born and grown in a village Horodiste, Calarasi of Republic of Moldova in year 1988.
Surrounded by forests and hills, I am always attracted by nature by its beauty, shapes, forms, and colours. I wanted somehow to memorize those landscapes, those trees and animals around me.
I have experimented with many different materials and styles and currently I am using vibrant acrylic colours, Impressionism and Expressionism. These are the main sources of inspiration and ideas that I like to explore in depth and utilize for producing my distinctive paintings with nature subjects as landscapes, seascapes and animal portraits. I also have an ardent passion for photography, love travelling, and during my spare time, I like to discover the secrets of nature through forest hiking, mountains climbing, and swimming in very cold rivers.
INSPIRATION
Being poor, I was not able to afford a camera to capture these real beauties of nature, so i decided to copy everything around me on a paper. The difference between drawing & painting, with the camera, it is that you can add your own perception, your perspective, and your fantasy by mixing the colours and texture... the same a photography can transmit more information than any written text existed... That is why I started my art since I was a kid, even managed to win some kids' art competition. However, my art path took a break at the age of teenage years.
After few years of failure of choosing the right studies and jobs, I decided to move to Cyprus, because the “Mediterranean climate, culture and hospitality, push my creativity beyond my limits and I feel like home", as I often mention my international experience many times works as an extra gift, since I can communicate in several languages and absorb various cultural elements and information, which I always try to include in my Artistic creations. I was always interested in art, but my artistic path as a professional artist kicked off in 2017, when I had my first appearance in a group exhibition.

I organized my first solo exhibition in 2019.
I've been joining in 18 groups exhibition in Cyprus, and I had 2 solo exhibitions.
My art was chosen to be published several times in books, magazines, and web galleries for Greek and Cypriot artists, and that makes me very proud.
I have won many awards in international competition including Panorama International Art Festival 2021 ,Panorama International Festival 2022 and Online Art Competition "The Joy of Life " 2021.

On my job list, it is that I founded an Art Auction Gallery and I been working on it for 2 years, organizing exhibitions, auctions and some Online Art competitions, that gave me a lot of experience and met me with many talented people and made me understand myself and my abilities even more.

I've been continuing to work on my art, creating and exhibiting in group exhibitions. Additionally, I took a few months of lessons in eye prosthetics. Working in a clinic had provided me with a unique experience, allowing me to see people's eyes and understand their world in a deeper way.

Currently participating at the Triennale of Modern art 2025 Agia Napa which will take place at 3 places.

Positions: Art Curator Biennale of Modern Art of Agia Napa for 2026
