Cyprus Mouflon, dimensions 70x100cm
Cyprus mouflon (Ovis orientalis ophion )
A unique rare mammal that is found only in Cyprus
This type of mouflon the "Ovis Orientalis Ophion" is unique to Cyprus and found only within the mountainous state forest of Paphos. It is believed to be descended from wild sheep brought over to the island from Asia by the prehistoric people who lived here around 9000-8000 B.C.. However, there is no firm evidence for this.
Today this rare mouflon is a strictly protected species. The 19th century deer (Dama dama mesopotamica) exist in Cyprus and they used to be the largest land mammals. When these became nearly extinct the mouflon was the largest left.
The mouflon are wild sheep and you can see that they are born on cliffs. The mating season begins in October and lasts until the end of November.

Although she was born and raised in Moldova, Eugenia decided to move to Cyprus, because the “Mediterranean climate, culture and hospitality, push her creativity beyond her limits and she feels like home", as she often mentioned. Her international experience many times works as an extra gift, since she can communicate in several languages and absorb various cultural elements and information, which she always tries to include in her Artistic creations. Eugenia was always interested in Art but her Artistic path as a professional Artist kicked off in 2017, when she had her first appearance in a group exhibition. Soon after she organized her first solo exhibition in 2019. Eugenia, experimented with many different materials and styles but at this current moment, vibrant acrylic colors, Impressionism and Expressionism, are the main sources of inspiration and ideas that she likes to explore in depth and utilize for producing her distinctive paintings with nature subjects as landscapes, seascapes and animal portraits. Eugenia, also has an ardent passion for Photography, loves travelling and during her spare time likes to discover the secrets of nature through forest hiking.
