detail
From the “Makarounes of the Aegean” to the contemporary Ceramic Jewellery.
Aggeliki Papadopoulou is a potter who loves the earth and makes use of clay, which she knows well as far as its endless creative possibilities, its processing, and its aesthetic results are concerned. She believes in the physical relationship/connection with clay and its strong positive effect on the human body.
The “Makarounes of the Aegean” journey began with a proposal from the Art Space “Ochra Ble (ochre blue)” of Lemnos, which involved the creation of ceramic jewellery related to the island’s traditions. Lemnos was known as the great granary of the Aegean. The food made for the body and its traditional ways of preparation became an inspiration for the spirit. Thus Aggeliki’s abstract ceramic jewellery was born with high fire clay and Earth pigments.
Precious e Art h
A second rare jewellery section was added along the way, highlighting the unsurpassed beauty of clay as a natural material. With a unique personal technique, she mixes different clays at different temperatures. Through fire, she transforms clay into valuable works of energy and art created for the human body from timeless earth.
Aggeliki Papadopoulou innovatively transforms earthly materials into unique works of art characterized by elegant aesthetics, technical perfection, and unique finesse.
