Description

This profound sculpture by CERAMIC 47 captures the delicate equilibrium between vulnerability and resilience, encapsulating their dynamic relationship in a timeless dance of interdependence. Envision two figures in motion: one, fragile and translucent like glass, radiates delicacy and impermanence; the other, solid and grounded like stone, embodies unwavering strength. They lean into each other, a precarious yet harmonious balance that neither could achieve alone.

The sculpture reflects life’s cyclical nature, where roles shift seamlessly between strength and fragility. In moments of fortitude, we offer support to those in need; in times of weakness, we are upheld by the very shoulders we once steadied. This interplay underscores the profound truth that strength and vulnerability are not opposites but partners, perpetually exchanging roles to sustain and uplift.

Who holds whom? The answer lies in their mutual reliance. Both figures depend on one another to stand, endure, and co-create the equilibrium that defines harmony. Sculpture_06 by CERAMIC 47 invites the viewer to meditate on the interconnectedness of life, celebrating the quiet strength found in shared support and unity.

This one of a kind ceramic sculpture is a striking decorative piece that blends the raw beauty of high-temperature black clay with the elegance of porcelain accents.

"Working with clay feels like a conversation with nature itself. Every piece I design starts with an idea but evolves as I pour my emotions into it. Through ceramics, I find a way to express what words can’t, letting my hands shape the stories within me. It’s a deeply personal connection—a harmony of earth, creativity, and soul." Faye Papargyropoulou, born in Athens on February 21, 1974, is a ceramic artist and designer based in Athens. Since 1992, when she began her studies in art & design with a scholarship in industrial design, she has been exploring the connection between creativity, functionality, and artistic expression. With over 20 years of experience as a creative director at leading advertising agencies, she was responsible for the image and communication of major Greek and international brands, defining their branding and creative strategy. At the same time, she applied her artistic ideas to personal projects in fashion and interior design. In 2006, she founded her own creative agency, ABOUT: CREATIVE AGENCY, specializing in design, branding, and projects related to fashion and interior design. In 2020, she took the next step in her creative journey by establishing her ceramic studio, CERAMIC 47. Based in Athens, CERAMIC 47 is her personal space for artistic expression, where Faye creates unique ceramic works that highlight the beauty of imperfection and challenge traditional notions of form and functionality. Her first complete collection, Migrated Forms, expresses her love for fashion, drawing inspiration from fashion patterns. The ceramic works from this collection, unique and multidimensional, were first presented in Athens in February 2022. She later participated in several group exhibitions, including "L'ÉTÉ GREC." and “WOMEN CERAMIC ARTISTS OF GREECE” at the Moncoinstudio gallery. Today, Faye continues to evolve her ceramic art, focusing on creating unique pieces that explore the relationship between form, functionality, and expression. Through her work, she combines the past with the present, reflecting a deep appreciation for art, nature, and contemporary design.
