From a letter of congratulations to Mark Wilman from the Elysée Palace. The exhibition mentioned refers to the showcasing of the artist’s project ‘Discovering The Beauty Of The Cyclades’ at the Adnan Saygun Art Center in Izmir, Turkey, in March 2022, which saw a cooperation between the Consulate General of Greece in Izmir (Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs) together with the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, with official support from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.

‘‘The photographic project Discovering The Beauty Of The Cyclades by W. M. Wilman pays tribute to the electric blue of the Aegean, the shapes and colours of rocky landscapes, beauty in its variety of physical forms and expressions above and below the water line. … Read Greek News Agenda’s interview with Mark Wilman on the reasons behind his interest in these islands, his artistic approach and his thoughts on beauty.’’

Embassy of Greece in UK

“Brits 🇬🇧 have always been impressed by the beauty of the Greek 🇬🇷 landscape. British photographer 📷 Mark Wilman is passionate about the wild landscapes of Greece’s Cycladic islands. After 4 years (2019) of exploring little-known parts of several Aegean islands, the photographer will showcase the Greek beauty he captured with his lens in the exhibition Discovering The Beauty Of The Cyclades by W. M. Wilman that will take place in Milan. Check out his impressive photography in his website.”

British Embassy in Athens

“A well-travelled Londoner with Carribean blood, photographer Mark Wilman is a Hellenophile at heart, and his evocative work proves it. His lifelong, multi-sensory experience of Greece has resulted in a highly lauded six-year project (2019) and a book honouring the Cycladic islands. ‘Discovering The Beauty of the Cyclades’ is an evocative photographic tribute to the natural, cultural and historical magnificence of these islands.”
