Myrto Voutyra (b. 1987, Athens, Greece) is a ceramic artist whose minimalist yet bold creations have captured attention across Greece and beyond. After studying Product Design at Camberwell College of Arts in London, she turned to ceramics during the pandemic, merging traditional techniques with a contemporary design sensibility.
Her work—defined by earthy browns, mustard tones, and clean forms—interweaves personal history, socio-political commentary, and reinvented traditional motifs. By blending handcrafted ceramic methods with an innovative approach to product design, Myrtmigi invents new functional and decorative objects that bridge heritage and modernity.
Drawing inspiration from her family’s past and contemporary Greek culture, her pieces balance quiet elegance with provocative messaging, establishing her as a compelling voice in modern craft.

Artist Statement
The works presented in this exhibition employ the medium of ceramic craft as a vehicle for socio-political commentary, drawing attention to pressing contemporary issues through metaphor and materiality. By engaging with themes such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, systemic racism, and broader political turmoil, these pieces transcend mere aesthetic function to provoke reflection and dialogue.
Ceramics, with its ancient heritage and tactile immediacy, becomes a potent language through which to articulate dissent, solidarity, and unresolved tensions. The deliberate choice of traditional techniques—subverted by minimalist forms and unsettling motifs—underscores the dissonance between enduring cultural narratives and the fractures of the present. Each piece, though silent, demands scrutiny: the roughness of a surface, the tension in a line, or the ambiguity of a glaze all serve as subtle but insistent gestures toward the complexities of power, displacement, and resistance.
This body of work does not seek to offer solutions but rather to amplify questions—to render visible the weight of collective unrest through the quiet intensity of crafted objects. In doing so, it invites viewers to consider how art, even in its most restrained manifestations, can bear witness to the unspoken and the unresolved.
