sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Athena is a ceramic artist whose practice explores the expressive tension between function and abstraction. Her work navigates the space where utilitarian forms meet sculptural presence, inviting a dialogue between the everyday and the poetic. Grounded in a hands-on approach, she works across hand building, wheel throwing, glaze development, and firing experimentation. Embracing the trial-and error nature intrinsic to ceramics, Athena engages with form, surface, and concept through iterative play.<\/p>\n<p>Her journey into ceramics began during a period of personal transition, when motherhood offered a new rhythm to her life and space for creative exploration. Working with clay quickly evolved into a serious and sustained artistic pursuit. Drawn to its tactile immediacy and transformative nature, Athena sees clay as a unique language to communicate beyond words.<\/p>\n<p>In the past four years, Athena has participated in exhibitions in Greece and the UK, presenting work that reflects her evolving exploration of ceramic form and process.<\/p>\n<p>Athena originally studied Economics and Politics at the University of Reading, later completing a Master\u2019s in Design Studies at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her professional background spans PR and communications across the visual arts, design, architecture, and lifestyle - experience that has shaped her sensitivity to visual culture and material expression.<\/p>\n<p>She currently lives and works in Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t<span class=\"uael-modal-close uael-close-icon elementor-clickable uael-close-custom-top-right\" >\n\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-times\" viewBox=\"0 0 352 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M242.72 256l100.07-100.07c12.28-12.28 12.28-32.19 0-44.48l-22.24-22.24c-12.28-12.28-32.19-12.28-44.48 0L176 189.28 75.93 89.21c-12.28-12.28-32.19-12.28-44.48 0L9.21 111.45c-12.28 12.28-12.28 32.19 0 44.48L109.28 256 9.21 356.07c-12.28 12.28-12.28 32.19 0 44.48l22.24 22.24c12.28 12.28 32.2 12.28 44.48 0L176 322.72l100.07 100.07c12.28 12.28 32.2 12.28 44.48 0l22.24-22.24c12.28-12.28 12.28-32.19 0-44.48L242.72 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-overlay\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uael-modal-action-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-button-wrapper elementor-button-wrapper elementor-align-left elementor-mobile-align-center\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" class=\"uael-trigger elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-clickable elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" data-modal=\"c088af8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-align-icon- elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"btn_text\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"none\" >Learn More \u2192<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39f9628 elementor-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"39f9628\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/thinkofserifos.gr\/en\/events\/omadiki-ekthesi-keramikis-lithosfaira-vol-ii\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Group Ceramics Exhibition \"LITHOSPHERE VOL.
