I was born in Athens, Greece. I live and work here for all my life. Ceramics came later on in my life. The overwhelming need to work and express with my hands led me to leave my previous decisions and begin studying ceramics. It was love at first sight. The fascinating thing for me is that ceramics has a lot more to do with destruction as a process than creation.’ ‘Trying to let go’’.
The starting point for me is the need for experimenting and finding the boundaries of the material. I create on the wheel, I distort, hand build objects that the form plays the most crucial part. Objects that balance between the twofold role of functionality and aesthetics. With the primary purpose being not necessarily to make something beautiful, but something that communicates in the simplest way.
