Elena Vasilantonaki

The Power of Ancient Tradition in a Contemporary Interpretation

We’re delighted to welcome Elena Vasilantonaki to the group of artists represented by Vellum Gallery – a Greek ceramic artist whose work blends the legacy of Mediterranean antiquity with contemporary sensitivity and deeply personal expression.

Elena Vasilantonaki reinterprets tradition through the lens of her own experiences and emotions – for her, working with clay became a path toward self-discovery, spiritual grounding, and harmony with nature.

Elena’s aesthetics draw from both Greek tradition and the philosophy of wabi-sabi – celebrating the beauty of simplicity and imperfection, the rawness of textures, and the sensuality of the material.

Each object bears the imprint of a creative process and an intimate relationship with matter.
For Elena, working with clay is more than an art form – it’s a way of living, thinking, and feeling.

Highlight Project:

I AM DISAPPEARING

An artistic project by Justyna Żak – unique glass decorative objects and a contemplative reflection on fragility, permanence, and impermanence.

In the past two years alone, Alpine glaciers have lost 10% of their volume. Scientists warn that by 2050, half of the Alpine ice cover could disappear.

Can art be a meaningful voice and tool in responding to the challenges of the modern world?

The project “I Am Disappearing” was born as a creative response to these alarming changes – a committed artistic initiative by Justyna Żak, inspired by her personal observation of a retreating glacier during a hike around the Mont Blanc massif.

The result is a unique series of vases made of blown glass shaped directly in ice molds – instead of traditional wooden forms.

Each object is a trace of a disappearing world – artistically exceptional, symbolically rich and metaphorically charged, serving as a reminder of our responsibility and a call to action.

Chaque pièce est une trace d’un monde en train de disparaître – exceptionnelle sur le plan artistique, symbolique et métaphorique, elle nous rappelle notre responsabilité et nous invite à agir.

An integral part of the project is a powerful documentary film that captures the creative process and reinforces the message of the work.
