Athena Kontonikolaki Ceramics

“Life Aquatic” explores the meeting point between simplicity and the sublime rhythms of the sea. Each vase begins as a minimal, elemental form, before unfurling into intricate sculptural gestures inspired by oceanic life and celestial cycles. Sea shells, starfish, urchins, and tidal forms intertwine with echoes of the sun and moon, creating vessels that feel alive with movement and texture. The collection celebrates the organic symmetry of marine life and the quiet power of nature’s design, capturing the sea’s constant balance between stillness and motion.
