Oceanic Ridges
Sculpted by air and water, covered in salt and seagull feathers, they have been floating for centuries on the mantle of the earth, hiding the story of a planet’s creation in their bowels. Others emerged, others were disjoined. Gazing at their blurred figures from afar, you explore your footprint as you sense whether you are approaching or moving away from your beloved home.

Clay changed my life… Born in Athens… studied Communication & Business Administration… until 2012 worked as top manager in the Media sector… editor in magazines… screenwriter for cinema and TV…
2008 first experience with Clay… loved it… fortunate to meet and have a series of seminars and workshops with gifted teachers.
2014 co-founder of KERAMEIO Ceramic studio in Serifos Cyclades.
Clay… is my way of communicating with myself and, therefore, with others. By exploring this material, I sense the possibility to express myself through understanding nature’s secrets, respecting its rules and limitations. In KERAMEIO Ceramic Studio I develop an ongoing research into the field of ceramics, personalizing work techniques, exploring color schemes. Working with ceramics is a way to be present here, in the now. Every piece you create is unique. It changes over time, it ages, it feels human. So every time I open a fired kiln I keep feeling a mixt of worry and excitement. Generally speaking, my work explores the layered landscapes and sea-washed coasts of Serifos, so all of my handmade stoneware pieces are characterized by curved lines and simple forms.
