So Irorama, tell us about yourselves and your concept…

Irorama, as a project, started in 2010 in Athens.Β  The name is inspired by our first child, Iro.Β  When she was about 6 months old, in my free time from raising her, I was inspired to develop my imagination and my creativity,Β  and I started experimenting on the clean and durable material of glass.
Since then I have not let go of the brush from my hands, trying along with enamels to give color and life to various glass and porcelain utilitarian or decorative objects, jewelry, tiles, glass surfaces and (with the help of my husband) atmospheric light boxes.

What is the inspiration behind your work?Β  Who are some people/ what are some projects that have inspired you?
