Damianos Zisimou is a visual artist who is based in Rotterdam and Nicosia. He holds a BFA from the Art Academy in Rome and an MA in Cultural Sociology from Erasmus University Rotterdam. Through a focus on the medium of painting, its process and materiality, his practice moves between painting, drawing and photography, visually exploring themes of masculinity and vulnerability, visibility and obscurity, and how these intersect with personal identities and wider cultural narratives.
