Katerina Ioannidis

Katerina was born and bred in Thessaloniki, Greece.

A graduate of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki – Greece (School of Fine Arts), the University of Barcelona – Spain (School of Fine Arts) and the University of the Arts London (UAL) – MA at Camberwell College of Arts.

She lives and works as a jewelry designer – artist in Thessaloniki and Athens.

The story of her family has being an inspiration that led Katerina’s path. She comes from a well-known Hellenic family of goldsmiths with origins from Istanbul; so continuing this artisanal tradition came naturally.

Her international experiences from the years of her studies and travels have marked the evolution of her designs.

The rewarding result is her constant presence in solo and group exhibitions, as well as biennials in Greece, Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey and the USA.

She loves antiques because they are “tangible history”, peony flowers, Rothko’s paintings and flea markets.
