GRECE

Kallia Panopoulou (b. 1989 in Athens, Greece)
My creative journey kicked off in London at Central Saint
Martins College of Art and Design, where I studied product
design.
Despite my formal education in product design, my heart was
always drawn to the art of sculpture and the intricate hand-building process.
When I returned to Athens seven years ago, I embarked on a journey into the
world of ceramics, under the guidance of two esteemed ceramic
teachers, Menandros Papadopoulos and Vangelis Magopoulos. It was during
this transformative period that I realized my true passion lay in the art of
ceramics.
What excites me most is the fusion of designing a product and bringing it to
life with clay. Lately, my work draws inspiration from the natural elements
and textures of the seabed.
In a nutshell, “Sea life is Earth’s final frontier, and I’m fascinated by the end-
less possibilities for artistic exploration through my creations.” This sums up
my deep connection to the sea, reflected in my recent ceramic pieces.
Thank you for taking a glimpse into my artistic journey, where the conver-
gence of design, craftsmanship, and the boundless wonders of the sea come together in my ceramic creations.
