Maru Meleniou
Greece
Maru Meleniou's background is rooted is art and design. Her shift in ceramics came in a time when graphic design has started to be become digitised. While looking for a more tactile expression she met with ceramics. The solitude, the repetitive and transformative nature of the medium was for her an absorbing exploration. Her work is based on organic forms, earth colors and various textures, on the small details, differences, imperfections and qualities that mirror the honesty of the hand - building creative process.

Vessel
Throbbing Stillness is part of a series of vessels exploring abstract ideas, concepts and existential questions. The paradox of Throbbing Stillness is that instead of the expected functionality of a flower vase, it implies the existence of a space capable to contain further communication with the viewer. Through its organic form it manages to transcend the rigidity of the medium and it seems to be vibrating with vital energy. Its shape and color highlight concepts such as emptiness, potentiality, expansion.
