MONTE II
The second in a fraternal twin series of surreally decorative objects, Angeliki Stamatakou’s Monte II continues the Athenian ceramicist’s process of blurring the lines between living and static, decor and natural artefact.
This handmade art object looks like some rusted and lilac coral bit. With stony ruffles an concavities, its surface is texturally intricate and lovingly formed.
We recommend pairing Monte II with the first of its series for a complete decorative arrangement.
Angeliki Stamatakou is a ceramic sculptor based in Athens, Greece. In her series of works, large clay sculptures serve as pure evocative artworks as well as functional pieces such as vases and candleholders, blurring the lines between utility and art.
The meticulous hand-building technique she employs emphasises a hands-on, artisanal aspect to making. This method ensures that each piece is unique and carries the mark of the artist's personal touch.
Themes of movement, mystery, freedom, and security infuse her exploration. The visual narrative mirrors
a fantastical underwater civilisation, speaking to spirits deeply connected to the sea and nature.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.

Glazed ceramics may be able to withstand being put through the dishwasher, though to maintain their original state and ensure longevity handwashing is highly recommended.
