In her Athens studio, Danae Kotsi shapes clay into vessels that tell stories. A former CGI artist with a background in Art Direction & Visual Design, she moved from the digital realm to the tactile world of ceramics, drawn by the intimacy of handmade craft. Her pieces weave together myth, folklore, and historical art, featuring intricate illustrations that flow with the form. Some are rich with fantastical detail, while others embrace a quiet Grecian simplicity, capturing nature and movement through fluid lines. Each piece is hand-built and painted with oxide underglazes—an ancient technique that gives her work its distinctive, timeworn palette. Danae Ceramics is more than just functional art; it’s a bridge between past and present, where tradition and imagination meet.
