Bio

Sotiria Vasileious live and works in Kalamata, Greece. She graduated from the Technical Lyceum of Kalamata, specializing in structural engineering, from the 2d EPAL Technical School of Goldsmiths Athens, specializing in metalsmithing, and from the Open University UK, with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Humanities with Art History specialism, and a MA in Art History (Honours).
Vasileiou's work involves an inquiry of materials and readymades which are transformed and synthesized with handmade work and contemporary design. She combines a multi-disciplinary method that involves art history, fashion, material culture, and jewelry history. Through her practice, she researches themes about femininity, identity, domesticity, experience, value, and aesthetics.
Vasileiou has also contributed to the existing scholarship through her dissertation project for the completion of the MA in Art History Project: "The contribution of new developments in women's fashion history to new construction of feminine identities in Greece after the War of Independence and until the end of the nineteenth century." She has designed 18 jewellery collections since 2013 and participated in local events.
 

Statement

I am a mixed media artist, I initially trained as a metalsmith. My practice involves an exploration of materials, found objects and unexpected combinations.
I transform and synthesize these with handmade work and contemporary design. 
With my work, I aim to create dialogues between the past and the present moment. I combine a multi-disciplinary method that involves art history, fashion, material culture, and jewelry history. 
With this concept in mind, I create feminine, unique, and original pieces of contemporary jewelry, utilizing innovative methods and high-quality craftsmanship.
Through my practice, I research themes about femininity, identity, domesticity, experience, value, and aesthetics.
