Presented under the title My Mykonos, the exhibition displays a new series of paintings inspired by the island that has long enchanted artists and travellers alike. Ioanna Efthimiou’s signature style, recognised because of its striking compositions, pop-art influences and meaningful symbolism, drew praise from collectors, cultural figures and invited guests. Throughout the evening, visitors explored the collection while meeting the artist and discussing the ideas behind her latest work.
