Aristea Rellou

MUSES: chapter 1

Aristea is a Greek illustrator and artist manager, based between Athens and London. She is the Co-Founder and Director of the studio and project management agency, HEKATE, and the nomadic arts organisation KIRKI. In addition, as “Monakrive” Aristea creates hand-drawn illustrations. Her work celebrates the simple and bountiful joy of good food and good stories.

Aristea wears the Heart to Heart ring and other pieces from the Love Me, Love Me Not collection, while she unravels her world for us, offering a glimpse inside.

Aristea opens the door to the women who inspire and shape °'HRIAM’s universe of treasures.
