Art practice is an essential part of my daily life, serving as both mindful practice and space for experimentation. My identity as artist, educator, and researcher forms a dynamic dialogue, where each role informs and enriches the others. My work explores the tension between the organic and the geometric, the amorphous and the symbolic. Drawing from global visual culture, I create hybrid worlds through painting, watercolor, works on paper, and ceramics. Themes of time, play, fragility, and the human-nature duality recur throughout my practice. I'm inspired by premodern scientific illustrations, where observation and spiritual reverence for nature were deeply intertwined. This mindful approach parallels my own process — an open conversation between material, technique, and intuition. Watercolor's fluidity and clay's fragility embody this dialogue. Found objects, especially fragments shaped by sea and time, play a central role. I transform construction debris and plastic waste into ceramic sculptures, symbolically reclaiming and reimagining discarded materials. Neologisms like Smileftaria and Econcretions express this synthesis of natural and human-made forms. Ultimately, my work invites quiet reflection on our relationship with objects, nature, and material culture — offering viewers small ruptures in habitual perception and moments of presence, care, and reconnection.
