ARTISTIC STATEMENT
“My practice lies at the intersection of architecture, painting, and ceramics. Trained as an architect, I approach ceramics not merely as a medium but as a bridge between disciplines, histories, and cultural narratives. The ceramic tile, at once architectural and domestic, fragmentary and whole, serves as the foundation of my artistic language.
Through painting on handmade ceramic tiles, I explore the tension between individuality and unity. Each tile functions as an autonomous work, yet together they recombine into compositions that echo architectural grids, Mediterranean landscapes, and contemporary abstraction. This process of fragmentation and recomposition mirrors the way memory and identity are constructed: through discrete elements that ultimately form a larger, coherent whole.
My work is deeply rooted in the visual and cultural vocabulary of Greece. Mythological motifs, folk elements, and architectural references intertwine with the symbolic purity of classical forms. At the same time, living and working in Stockholm has expanded my artistic vision. Scandinavian abstraction, with its clarity and restraint, balances the expressive vibrancy of the Mediterranean, creating a dialogue that is both personal and universal.
Ultimately, my ceramic works are reflections on belonging, cultural continuity, and transformation. They exist between architecture and art, tradition and modernity, individuality and collectivity. Through the ceramic tile, I aim to create works that are at once intimate and monumental, grounded in heritage yet open to new interpretations of form, space, and identity. I seek to highlight ceramics not as utilitarian surfaces but as carriers of memory, culture, and contemporary artistic expression.”
