Moirai of Destiny - Triptych

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Moirai —often known in English as the Fates—were the personifications of destiny. They were three sisters: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Each pannel symbolises a sister.

This work is a triptych work of acrylic on canvas. The black has specs of metallic leaf in them, each pannel a different metallic colour there is silver, gold and rose gold. The black is then painted over with an off white in geometric lines.

They come unframed. Each pannel measures 60 x60 cm

Athena’s practice moves between modern minimalist abstraction and bold, naïve landscapes—works driven by confident colour and distilled form. Shapes become anchors, fields of pigment become space, and composition does the talking: pared back, but never quiet.

She tends to work just outside the spotlight. With a foundation in the creative arts and a distinctly multi-disciplined mind, Athena is always chasing new techniques, materials, and ways of seeing. Step into her studio and you’ll find more than paint—sculpture in progress, textiles and ceramics, sketchbooks of illustration—an ecosystem of making where ideas migrate from one medium to the next.

At the heart of her work is a devotion to looking backward in order to move forward. Athena studies how ancient makers observed the world and the universe—how they tried to name the unknowable, to map wonder into meaning. Because what we call science now, once lived as magic.
