Marina’s Taliadourou work is dominated by once-fired at 1260°C with
glazes that she creates using porcelain and ashes.
Having a multidimensional and experimental approach, she often
alternates techniques and incorporates various materials such as metals
and soils from the island of Santorini in her works.
She uses the raku technique to create pieces that evoke a sense of the
primitive.
For the last thirteen years, her work has been influenced by the
landscape and culture of the Cyclades. Her works combine organic with
linear forms, with references to architecture, nature and ancient
civilization.
