I was born in Thessaloniki, I grew up in Athens, I was a student of the Vakalo school, in the field of graphic art, a love took me to Mykonos where I stayed for 22 years, there near Delos my love for ceramics was declared and revealed in my beloved Patmos where I live permanently in Kampos. I work without a wheel, my studio is my home, my inspiration is the path of my soul, my dreams, nature and my dear friends. I exhibit in the gallery of Andreas Kalatzis in Chora of Patmos, in my home and solo exhibitions in the port of Thessaloniki but mainly in my beloved Patmos in collaboration with the island’s cultural centre.
Step into the world of Patmos-based artist Maria Koubourli, whose ceramic sculptures are both timeless and personal, untamed fragments of unearthed dreams. Raw, elemental textures, along with organic shapes, reflect a deep connection to the natural world and a dreamlike inner landscape. Each piece is hand-formed, cast and fired on the island of Patmos. Be there for the opening of this ceramics art show, where sculptures become an echo of Patmos’ land and dreams.
