Περιγραφή
Dusk, the time of the day when the sun falls on a horizon by the sea. A time when the sea is almost indistinguishable from the sky, while the black line, indicating the land, is also visible on the horizon. Dusk! In the colours of blue, black, white, gray, ochre and terracotta. The new ceramic collection by Myrto Lykopoulou, “painted” in the colours of dusk.
The collection consists of a line of cheese plates, sauce bowls, olive bowls, candlesticks and incense burners. All, stoneware clay and enamels fired at 1240 c

My ceramics have come alive via the marriage of the old and new. My inspiration is the connection of traditional and contemporary everyday style. The colours and the forms find a place in all different environments.
The lace has a special connection with our grandparent’s generation where small doilies were placed on every flat surface in their house. Beautiful designs that could become overwhelming, found the perfect translation on clay. On items that can be used every day or become a centerpiece on a table.
The terracotta collection is inspired by traditional Greek ceramics. Terracotta white and blue, colours seen in most traditional Greek potteries. The repetitive lines create a motive that is inspired by fields seen from above. A geometric recreation of the lines of plantations on Greek islands and slopes in the mainland.
When working I mostly hand built my work out of slabs formed in molds and make some pieces on the wheel. I fire in low and middle temperatures and decorate with slips, stains and glazes.
