About ARTemia

The story of ARTemia: biology-inspired t-shirt designs by Peter Gulian, Cyprus How ARTemia designs are drawn from the animals and insects of Cyprus Overview of the ARTemia t-shirt collection, Cyprus

In the salt lake in Larnaca, Cyprus, the main source of food for the flamingos is Artemia, which in turn feeds on the microalgae Dunaliella. That is why flamingos have a pinkish colour.

All the designs available are made from drawings and paintings by Peter. They are made from observations of the actual insects, molluscs and other animals and plants that are found in Cyprus. Each species has been fully identified and named.

The different t-shirts are available to be ordered and are screen printed on good quality Egyptian cotton. See the full collection on the shop page.
