Myrsini Alexandridi was born in 1991 in Greece and is currently based in Stockholm, Sweden. Originally trained as an architect at the National Technical University of Athens and The Berlage institute in Delft, she has allowed her architectural background to shape and form her artistic practice. Her work is situated at the intersection of architecture, painting and ceramics, with the ceramic tile serving as both her medium and conceptual anchor. Each tile functions as an autonomous unit, yet when combined they form larger compositions reminiscent of architectural grids, Mediterranean landscapes and abstraction. Rooted in Greek cultural and visual heritage — mythological motifs, folk art references, the colours and forms of the islands — her practice engages with belonging, identity and transformation. At the same time, living in Stockholm has brought a Nordic clarity and restraint into her visual language, creating a dialogue between the expressive vibrancy of the Mediterranean and the minimalism of the North. Myrsini’s creative process is deeply hands-on: starting from pencil sketches that divide the composition into individual tile-units, she proceeds to paint, glaze and assemble the result, emphasising the craft of ceramics as much as the concept. Her ambition is to elevate the tile, traditionally a functional architectural or domestic surface, into a carrier of memory, culture, and contemporary artistic expression. Through her work she seeks to explore how discrete elements (the tiles) recombine into a unified whole, mirroring how memory, place and identity are constructed and layered. Her practice remains both intimate and monumental, grounded in heritage yet open to new interpretations of form,space and materiality. Find her work here.
