✨ How a Simple Stone Became My Artistic Language in Santorini 

When I first moved to Santorini in 2018, I didn’t plan to become an artist. I was working at a souvenir shop, admiring the many handmade creations made by others.

But something shifted.
Surrounded by the beauty of Santorini — its light, its colors, its textures — I felt the urge to create something of my own. I wanted to offer travelers a piece of the island that was real, honest, and full of soul.

That’s when I discovered pumice.

It’s raw. It’s ancient. And in a way, it holds the energy of the volcano and the history of this land.

With each sculpture I create, I try to tell a story. Not just mine — but the island’s. A windmill catching the breeze, a church standing still against the sunset, a home that feels like home.

This is more than craft. It’s memory, emotion, and place — shaped into something you can hold.
