Louis Kyriakou

Louise Kyriakou resides and operates her art studio in the North East suburbs of Melbourne. Drawing on her background in design and illustration, her ceramics practice focuses on creating works that feature stylized figures and faces interwoven with hints of other familiar forms and references. Her creations are distinguished by intricate design elements such as patterns, geometric shapes, and bold colour palettes.

With nearly a decade devoted to working with clay, Louise's ceramic journey began while working as a secondary school art teacher, and her love for ceramic art and craftsmanship has only deepened in time. Reflecting on her creative process, Louise shares, "Working with clay is an ongoing and playful voyage of discovery, simultaneously exhilarating, challenging, and surprising.”

Louise remains inspired to create pieces that not only please aesthetically but also speak playfully to the human experience and relationships. Her work resonates with themes of connection and community, evoking a sense of belonging and unity. Through the vibrant compositions and forms she creates, she invites viewers to forge meaningful connections with one another and the world around them.
