Nitsa Meletopoulos: Selected works, 2019-2023
Nitsa Meletopoulos develops her art between design, pottery and sculpture. Her pieces are a combination of different ceramic techniques like throwing, molding as well as 3D printing. She takes inspiration as much from art history, the Grotesques and the Rocaille style from pop culture and kitsch. Interested in Maximalism and those cumulative styles that overflow, she develops an aesthetics of excess. She mixes styles, playing with historical and traditional references. Her colorful volumes, full of signs and ornaments, balance between the natural and the artificial, even the supernatural, with sometimes a psychedelic repertoire of colors, creating strange organic pieces and vessels disturbing the perception.

Mineral Lanscapes, 2019-2023
This is a sculptural serie witch shapes are inspired by the mineral, animal and vegetal world. The pieces made by collage of different textures and forms become surrealistic presences, sometimes almost alive, coming from another planet where vibrant gradient colors grow all over.

Not Barbotine, 2021-2022
