Peter Kyprianou

London-born Peter Kyprianou worked as a designer in South Africa for many years until he could no longer contain his passion for illustration. He made the switch, and later returned to the UK, spending some time in Cyprus along the way, where he was a political cartoonist for three years. Today, icons, pictograms, infographics and storyboarding are his domain. Peter loves travel, the sun, museums and galleries, as well as Greek and Cypriot cooking. His Greek background means he’s influenced by Byzantine iconography, and he’s also inspired by the pictograms and icons drawn by the German modernist Gerd Arntz. Rembrandt, Hals, Vermeer and El Greco are among his favourite artists.
