For Vasiliki, making is an act of connection to the earth, tradition, and the simple rituals of daily life. Working with clay, wood, and paint, she crafts pieces that are meant to be used and cherished. Her work explores the elemental relationship between materials and her devotion to the process. Through soda-fired ceramics, hand-carved wooden utensils, and expressive oil paintings, she engages the viewer in an intimate dialogue with form, texture, and function.

Intended for use at the table, her ceramic pieces honor the essential human act of gathering and eating. Similarly, the hand-carved wooden spoons are each shaped with intention and patience to celebrate the tactile rituals of nourishment and family.

At the heart of it all is a belief: that art is not separate from life, but directly woven into its fabric, into the objects we touch, the meals we share, and the beauty we notice when we slow down and look closely.
