Meet Sascha & Tashi
Creating places with meaning.
Sascha Stylianou is a South African-born Cypriot who returned to Cyprus with his wife, Tashi, in 2020. Together they are the multidisciplinary artists behind Jewel of Space, creating bespoke murals and artistic environments for hospitality, commercial, residential and public spaces.
After settling in Cyprus during the pandemic, they began working professionally across the island in 2023. Since then they have completed projects for municipalities, hospitality groups, commercial businesses and private clients, creating artwork that transforms spaces into memorable experiences.
Their work has led to meeting the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Nikos Christodoulides, following their mural project at Δημοτικό Σχολείο Λεμεσού Κ’. In 2024 they were awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by former Mayor Nicos Nicolaides for their contribution to the Blue Innovation Centre’s immersive Ocean Room in Limassol.
Their work has been recognised both locally and internationally, including a feature in the Cyprus Mail and an appearance on The Artist Academy Podcast.
Our Approach
Having worked across the fine art, film, television and interior decoration industries, Sascha and Tashi understand the creative process from the earliest concept through to final installation. Their background provides a unique combination of artistic vision, technical expertise and project management experience, allowing them to deliver complex creative commissions with confidence and precision. Every project begins long before the first brushstroke. Careful design, thoughtful planning and an understanding of architecture, light and materials ensure that each artwork feels like an integral part of the space rather than simply decoration. With extensive knowledge of specialist materials, decorative finishes and protective coatings, they create work that is not only visually striking but built to perform in demanding commercial environments.
Our Philosophy
We believe that great art should do more than transform a wall. It should strengthen the identity of a place, create emotional connections, encourage curiosity and leave people with an experience they remember. Our goal is to create artwork that not only transforms individual spaces, but also contributes to the cultural identity and long-term value of the places in which it exists.
