Artist Statement

Georgia Polyzoi is a ceramic artist from Euboea, based in Athens, whose work moves between fragile delicacy and sculptural strength.

Through hand-built forms, she explores a central paradox of her material: porcelain that appears soft, draped, almost textile-like, yet holds the silent hardness of stone. Her practice is a continuous study of form, built around the tension between what the eye perceives and what the hand discovers.

She works in two parallel directions. In one, thin porcelain slabs are folded and creased, revealing layers of color, stripes, and patterns underneath — surfaces that behave like fabric caught mid-movement. In the other, volumes are built through stacked, flowing layers of clay, where the material seems to pour, drip, and settle into place. Both series share the same question: what does it mean to give something hard the appearance of softness?

A recurring palette of pastel pinks, blues, corals, and off-whites ties the two bodies of work together — colors of skin, sweets, and cloth, carrying both intimacy and a quiet sense of contradiction.

Her ceramics invite slow looking and touch, asking viewers to trace their surfaces, discover hidden cavities, and experience how something seemingly fragile can endure.
