6 spots
My relationship with Serifos is not accidental. Neither is the selection of soil from six different locations on the island. The number 6 symbolizes harmony, balance, and perfection. As Rene Allenby mentions in his work “The Symbolism of Numbers,” the number 6 symbolizes the relationship between the creation and the creator in an indefinable balance.

She has also participated in seminars delivered by ceramist Georgios Vavatsis and Ilias Christopoulos in the Group "Ceramists' Traces".
Nurtured by the rich cultural heritage of Crete, combined with her multifaceted education, she has the ability to transform natural materials into works of art using minimal tools. In her words: "I want to evoke emotion. In my works, I want express the idea of the ‘non finito’ and the feeling that we are talking about a living organism and not a soulless decorative object. I have a deep connection with clay which comes from my contact with nature and the art of my homeland."
In 2024, she received praise at the 62nd Panhellenic Ceramics Exhibition with her participation under the title “ATHIVOLI.”
