Welcome to Ariadne Kritonos

Modern Greek Folk Art Prints & Surface Designs

Welcome to the world of Ariadne Kritonos — a collection of bold, vibrant artwork inspired by the rich symbolism of 18th and 19th century Greek folk traditions.

Each piece is rooted in storytelling, mythology, and pattern, blending historical motifs with a contemporary sense of color and design. From art prints and greeting cards to mugs, ornaments, and surface pattern designs, my work reimagines traditional Greek aesthetics for modern everyday life.

As an artist with Greek heritage, I draw from the textures of embroidery, the visual language of old iconography, and symbolic objects found in historic textiles and woodwork. Whether it’s a mermaid holding a vase, a stylized heart flanked by carnations, or an amulet-shaped motif for good luck, every design holds deeper meaning.

My work is for those who want to connect to heritage while embracing bold, expressive style. Many of my pieces are created as fine art prints, while others are available on functional pieces like homeware and paper goods.
