In 2007, Marilena Patronicolas expanded her educational mission by bringing the celebrated Italian artist Patrizia Arvieri to Greece.

Known for her distinctive elegance, inventive use of gold, and mastery of both classic and contemporary styles, Arvieri has long been admired as a leading figure in modern porcelain decoration. A prolific author and collaborator of Donatella Viggiani, she helped redefine the aesthetics of hand-painted porcelain through innovative textures and metallic effects.

During her seminar hosted by Marilena, Patrizia shared not only her technical expertise but also her philosophy of transforming tradition into modern expression. The event opened new creative horizons for Greek artists, embodying Marilena’s goal of fostering cross-cultural exchange and artistic growth within the local porcelain community.
