KEAN 70-year Anniversary Campaign
Nature conservation has been a particular focus of Silvio’s personal projects. Such projects include ‘Red Soil’, ‘This is your Cyprus’, ‘The Balkan Lynx’ and ‘Within mountains, there lies’, all of which refer to the preservation of natural elements, landscapes and wildlife as well as recounting the experiences of those working hard for this purpose.
Silvio’s personal projects have received international distinctions; his longest-running project, ‘This is your Cyprus’, has been selected as a winning project in the PDN Perspectives Contest in 2017. At the same time, Silvio’s commissioned and commercial work share the common theme of communicating the importance of exploring and appreciating aspects of our surroundings. Such work includes projects and campaigns for Cypriot and international organisations like Cobalt Air, Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation, Cyprus Tourism Organisation, University of Cyprus, Antiquities Department, KEAN Soft Drinks and Unicars. His campaign for the later was awarded a Silver Award by the PX3 Paris Photography Prize (2018) and a Bronze Award by the Tokyo International Foto Awards (2017).
Silvio holds an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from the University of the Arts London (2016-2018) and a BA in Design from Frederick University (2006-2010).

entry description
Cyprus winters are synonymous to the aroma of ripe oranges; a sun-steeped island with a long history of citrus cultivation. KEAN Soft Drinks, a major contributor to the drinks industry in Cyprus that bears the orange as its emblem, commissioned me to join its 70-year Anniversary Campaign. The aim was to capture the process, from the field to the bottle, while showcasing the family company’s commitment to preserving the Cyprus orange. With the evolution of this company deeply intertwined with my childhood and that of 3 generations of Cypriots, it was a pleasure to have contributed to its Anniversary Campaign and I can only wish that its efforts to preserve this important part of the agricultural landscape of Cyprus amount to fruition.about the photographer
