I am delighted to be part of the exhibition "Anima I am delighted to be part of the exhibition "Animal Rites a dialogue between the ritual animal-shaped vessels of antiquity and contemporary artistic expression" at @chimera_artandcraft gallery/Syros island which will be still open until the 8th of August!

Throughout my practice, I have been deeply inspired by the zoomorphic symbols that appear on the ceramics of ancient civilizations—motifs that have survived through time and found their way into folk embroidery and traditional pottery. Birds, fish, and especially the wild goat have always fascinated me. The wild goat holds a special place in my work, as it is the iconic symbol of the island where I live.

I have always believed that these ancient animal symbols carried a magical significance. They were more than decorative motifs; they embodied the qualities of the animals themselves, perhaps expressing humanity's timeless desire to acquire their powers—the fish's ability to breathe beneath the water, the bird's freedom to fly, or the wild goat's strength, agility, and resilience.

For this exhibition, I chose the wild goat. I began with a silhouette reminiscent of those often found on ancient vessels and reinterpreted it into a more contemporary form, combined with geometric decoration that echoes both ancient and modern visual language.

The piece is made from stoneware clay and decorated with underglaze pencils, coloured slip and gold luster.

It is my own contemporary response to these extraordinary ritual vessels, connecting the symbolism of the past with the visual language of the present.

Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to @manosmastorakis for the inspiration and for the opportunity to be part of such nicely curated exhibitions on the island that holds a very special place in my heart.
The exhibition on the island of my heart, Syros (C The exhibition on the island of my heart, Syros (Cyclades), is coming soon...

My "Agrimi" (the wild goat of Crete), inspired by the exhibition's theme, is a hand-built stoneware vessel decorated with underglaze pencils and gold lustre.

Thank you, @manosmastorakis, for the opportunity to participate in this exhibition alongside artists I admire, and for giving me yet another reason to return every year to my little island...

Opening: 3/7
