Urban Art & Summer Vibes!  Our summer event took place on a mellow Thursday afternoon, on 22nd July.  We had the revelation of our new image of urban art just outside Medley, as well as our new summer arrivals along with our familiar artpieces and handcrafts and it was all accompanied with cool drinks and appetizers and best of all, great friends and visitors! Katerina Moraitou Markianou chose to decorate the telephone cable box with two hoopoes, a colourful bird that's been appearing in Athens since ancient times. She was inspired by ancient greek art, the Acropolis and its museum, the Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum collection and also the public school and playground across the road. All are landmarks around where Medley is situated!

French born artist, Diane has studied modern literature, graphic design, art history and communication in Paris, and has worked in the fields of brand identity design and illustration for advertising agencies as well as luxury brands for the past 15 years.

For the past five  years, she has been living in between Paris and Athens and developed a more personal creation. Immersed in Greek mythology from a very young age, she is particularly inspired by the totemic representations of gods and archetypes, the power they transmit and their close relationship with Nature. Inherited unconsciously from various archaic cults from pre Mesopotamian to Sumerian to Egyptian to Cycladic, her idols are a meditative offering, to people, moments shared, instants of comprehension or love.

Her media are earthenware and stoneware clays and porcelain.
