Between 1933 and 1937, when she lived in Cyprus, Loukia Nicolaides-Vassiliou was especially prolific. Besides her many oil paintings, she also made a large number of watercolours from nature, depicting landscapes and scenes from daily life. Some of these were also used to create oil compositions.
Most of her watercolours draw their themes from her hometown of Limassol and the village of Platres, where she spent the summer holidays with her family. Some of them were painted in Famagusta, obviously during a journey she made there. Nicolaides-Vassiliou’s watercolours are in a totally different style than those of Ioannis Kissonerghis. She painted succinctly and abstractly, showing particular dedication to the colour qualities and the rendering of the atmosphere of the space and the character of the people.
