Mrs Katsellis said that it was her mother's wish that these works remain in Cyprus and in the State Gallery, as they are part of the island's history. The works, which were created between 1975 and 1979 using the egg tempera technique and dealing with themes of the Turkish invasion, are as follows:
- "Uprooted Panagra", 1979
- "The evils that came from the sea - Cyprus 20 July 1974", 1976
- "The cry of the ancient trees - Cyprus 1974", 1975
- "Bound Angel", 1975
- "The houses I had were taken from me - Panagia Glykiotissa Kyrenia", 1975
The Deputy Minister of Culture warmly thanked Mrs. Katsellis and conveyed to her the gratitude of the state for this donation. He announced the organisation of a special ceremony in honour of Reena Katsellis on the occasion of the two-year anniversary of her death.
The works, which will be included in the state art collection, will be temporarily exhibited at the State Ministry of Culture.
