More than fifty works of art (painting and sculptures) bought over the years by the Bank of Cyprus were transferred to the Cultural Foundation’s safekeeping according to the provision of the 1984 founding act. The ultimate goal is the gradual formation of an art collection providing an overall picture of twentieth-century art in Cyprus. The Collection, numbering over three hundred works of art, is split between the administrative headquarters of the Bank of Cyprus and the Cultural Foundation premises. The rest of the works are on display in various branches and offices of its affiliates.

The Foundation’s art collection includes paintings of the first generation of Cypriot artists, such as A. Diamantis (1900-1994), T. Kanthos (1910-1993) and G. Pol. Georgiou (1901-1972). Sculpture, ceramic art, video art, mixed media art, as well as the latest trends in art are represented by artists of all generations in the Foundation’s collection.
