and the power of the female world, which is recounted through mythology and ancient stories. A world in which goddesses, witches, and women inspire me every day to shape symbols to wear with my own hands.

I created Athina in 2022, on tiptoes and with shyness, starting by making jewelry for myself. 

Then, over time, I realized it had to become something more. I realized that I had to merge ancient values with my desire to create.

I love creating with my hands and seeing how material transforms from something simple and raw into an iconic shape and a piece of jewelry to wear. I work with different materials like polymer clay, which is versatile, malleable, and magical. But I also use semi-precious metals like brass: I am fascinated by how the material takes on a new life through casting or by working with sheets.

Mythology has always been a passion of mine; I read various books on Greek stories and beyond, where the female figure is portrayed in a different light. Mythology fascinates me because it holds symbols and archetypes, such as the strength and wisdom of Athena, the independence of Artemis, and the rebellious strength of Medusa.

Figures that represent nuances of the feminine that I see and recognize in myself and in the women I meet. Hence my impulse and the goal for my brand: to create and design unique pieces that become symbols to be worn—not just a simple accessory, but a jewel that encapsulates signs speaking of strength, rebirth, and beauty.
