Elina Zabeta (b. 1996) is a Greek and French architect and ceramic artist in Athens.
Formed through her constant chosen relocations, from Chile to South Korea to Palestine and now Athens. Her training involved wheel-throwing in Chile and Onggi practice and bunching under master Kwak Kyung Tae in South Korea. Zabeta works with form as something carried, translated, and re-inscribed rather than an aim itself; each series is developed following a core idea and grounded in evolution within the series itself.
Architecture enters the work as a conflict rather than a gesture: refusing the lapse in scale and rather imposing a sense of proportion, formal composition, sequence. Learnt techniques are tied to places while architecture abstracts them from it. Works create fictional narratives instead of narrating this conflict.
Each series develops independently. Tylissos— metal-glazed forms shaped after Minoan vessels — was presented at Alcova during Milano Salone del Mobile, while in Belfast, through Fluxus Arts Projects, Zabeta produced seven works using Onggi form and technique, moving between Korean porcelain inlay and the more declarative language of Mamluk compositions. These trajectories extend through exhibitions at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal and galleries in Paris and continue in Athens.
