The paintings depict young women working with a “doulappin”, a simple manual machine that spins thread into loops to be used in the preparation woven and other textiles. Kkashialos was a self-taught naïve artist. His work was deeply inspired by Cyprus and profoundly captures the customs, traditions and everyday life of Cypriots.
