 Creating the owl and the fox — symbols of wisdom and intuition. |  The moment Medusa comes to life through clay. |  The fox sculpture, a symbol of intelligence, intuition, and adaptability, comes to life through handcrafted clay with simple, minimalist lines. A quiet and elegant creature, observing in silence, bridging nature’s instinct with human sensitivity. |

 Medusa, a symbol of transformation and inner power, is my own artistic interpretation of the ancient myth. Formed in clay with pure, minimal lines and quiet intensity, she embodies the feminine energy that turns fear into beauty and creation. A sculpture that unites light and shadow, expressing the spirit of ancient Greece through a modern perspective. |  The owl, sacred symbol of the goddess Athena, represents wisdom, clarity, and inner light. This handcrafted clay sculpture is inspired by the ancient statue displayed at the Acropolis Museum, capturing the calm and strength of knowledge through minimalist, timeless lines. A piece that bridges ancient wisdom with modern creation, made near the Acropolis in Athens. |  The Dog of General Xanthippos symbolizes loyalty and honor — a creature that stood beside man not for gain, but out of pure faith and heart. This clay sculpture is inspired by the ancient statue exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, capturing that silent strength through simple lines and serene presence, a reminder of the endurance and dignity of the ancient heroes. |
