    John Blenkin is a retired Architect who has firmly established himself as a Cyprus Resident and watercolor artist for over thirteen years with his Cypriot wife - in the village of Athienou.

    During this time he has painted almost eight hundred works with ten exhibitions to his credit in Nicosia - at Gallery Opus 39, Protaras at the Capo Bay Hotel and Paphos.

    His techniques vary with his subjects which range from liberal demonstrations of buildings in detail to metaphysical abstract impressionism - all of which are deeply rooted in a mastery of technique, colour and light. Currently, paintings of the moment are occupying his interest.

    John Blenkin believes that art in any medium rests in the expression of Universal Light. A painting being mostly a vain representation of that light - at the relative level.

    Favourite artists remain - Paul Klee and Cypriot Thraki Jones.
