Labyrinth of Petals

“Labyrinth of Petals” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | A Dance of Geometry, Heritage & Bloom

Introducing Labyrinth of Petals, a masterfully handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos, created as an homage to ancient order and radiant celebration. This piece pulses with dualities—structure and flourish, tradition and expression, history and joy.

At its core, a deep blue labyrinth winds inward and outward in hypnotic precision, echoing the ancient Greek meander—a symbol of eternity, journey, and interconnectedness. Surrounding this sacred center, stylized petals in alternating red and turquoise burst outward like celebratory firecrackers, each one tethered by swirling golden stems in rhythmic unity.

The background is alive with stippled textures—tiny dots in green, red, and gold—that bring a sense of movement and mosaic shimmer to the negative space. The outer rim, framed in a bold blue-and-gold Greek key pattern, acts as a protective boundary and a nod to classical framing—anchoring the lively composition in a foundation of heritage.

Anna describes Labyrinth of Petals as “a ritual in color—a memory of summer festivals in village squares, where geometry meets music, and the ancient lives on through rhythm.” It is both mythic and modern, celebratory and sacred.
