My name is Barbara Spyrou and I am a painter. I was born on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus in 1940. I came to the United States in 1966 after marrying my Greek-American husband. We have lived in the South Bay area ever since. |

Barbara Spyrou - Artist, Painter
A recurrent theme in my art work is the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 which resulted in the occupation of 40% of the island to this date. The Greek refugees of the northern Cyprus left their homes, which for hundreds of years belonged to their ancestors and ended up living in tents in the southern part of the island. This fact totally absorbs my interest as an artist and I created a lot of pieces as an homage to these refugees.
