This period of his life was extremely
fruitful, for,
as he took on part time jobs as a student in London, his
experiences began
to color his vision of life. He still remembers his fellow
students, from
varied backgrounds and different countries such as France, India,
Nigeria,
Cuba, and the contacts he had with them, which were to change his
outlook on
life.

Among his friends of the era he also
counts the
renowned Cypriot artist Christoforos Savva, who died tragically
young, and
whose friendship was, for Ashiotis, a source of inspiration.
Today, Ashiotis
laments the loss of true friendship, respect and love, but
continues to
paint with great sensitivity.

After his studies in England,
Ashiotis worked in the
Office of the Auditor General of the Republic, reaching the post
of Senior
Auditor, until his retirement. He now devotes his time to painting
but does
not regard his art as commercial. Art critics in Cyprus have given
high
praise to his paintings, which "have a warmth, emotion and
structure so
often lacking in today's younger painters". It has been said
that "he
manages to place in his pictures a figurative image which also
responds to
the abstract areas on his canvas. The style and content cohese.
The use of
color can be symbolic as well, but it is mainly the intuitive
ability to use
paint to express what he wishes added to the ability to allow each
picture
to take over from his preconceived ideas which gives each paining
its own
life". (Cyprus Weekly, February 2002).

The artist's address: 16 Valtetsiou
