Fani Valassi shows her work on hand-painted shoes as part of the “Summer Creative” exhibition in Chili Art Gallery, Demophontos 13-15, Thission, Athens, tel. 0030-2107292564 – 0030-6936755550. During the exhibition, you can buy from a selection of hand-painted shoes and other marvellous pieces of applied art by a selection of artists, accompanied by certificates of authenticity and in special prices valid until the end of July. Look how detailed her work is on this pair of shoes covered with leafs of gold and silver.
Once you have picked your favourite hand-painted shoes, don’t forget to try on archaic-inspired hand-made jewellery from Thaleia-Maria Georgoulli, which I love for their clear, minimal lines that stay true to the nature of the materials which remind me of the wild simplicity of the greek landscape.
