Myrsini Alexandridi: Contemporary Ceramic Tiles and Visual Art

Myrsini Alexandridi is a visual artist and architect whose practice explores the intersection of ceramics, painting, and architecture. Born in 1991 and based in Stockholm, Sweden, and Athens, Greece, she specializes in creating hand-painted ceramic tiles and bespoke tile murals that bring a unique identity to interior spaces. Trained as an architect at the National Technical University of Athens, Myrsini Alexandridi treats the ceramic tile not just as a utilitarian surface but as a carrier of memory, culture, and contemporary artistic expression. Her work is deeply rooted in the visual and cultural vocabulary of Greece, drawing inspiration from mythological motifs, folk embroidery, and Mediterranean landscapes. These influences are harmonized with northern European aesthetics, specifically Scandinavian abstraction, resulting in a dialogue that is both personal and universal. Her portfolio includes projects ranging from intimate tile compositions to expansive wall installations, as well as collaborations with other creators such as ceramist Maria Glassel on wheel-thrown vessels. Myrsini Alexandridi’s creations are commissioned for hospitality, residential, and retail projects worldwide, reflecting her ability to bridge tradition and modernity. She approaches each tile as an autonomous work that, when recombined, forms a larger architectural grid or narrative composition. This methodology reflects her vision of memory and identity as constructed through discrete elements that ultimately form a larger, coherent whole.
