A Greek local poet, architect and artist in the heart of Patras created the best shop in Patras, Greece

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hi! I’m Alexandra Tiligadi, living my life architecting, poeting, and designing. In 2022, with the support of my sister Zeta, I founded 11 Modern Muses, a multidisciplinary studio devoted to sensory aesthetics and storytelling. Rooted in the timeless Greek aura, I weave narratives of love and inner power into wall art, books, journals, and aromas that inspire everyday rituals.

Today, I create and collaborate on holistic design concepts, helping small business owners and hoteliers bring their visions to life through cohesive visual identities and immersive experiences. When I’m not designing or writing, I gather inspiration from poetry, Greek light, quiet walks, and meaningful conversations. I’m open to commissions, creative collaborations, and storytelling partnerships worldwide.
