Foteini Foteinaki is a multidisciplinary creator and educator, having delved into diverse creative paths throughout her career.

In her weaving practice, she works exclusively with recycled yarns, driven by an interest in the stories the materials carry as objects connected to tradition and family histories around the world. Their widespread presence in households, regardless of economic, social, or geographical context, led her to recognize a connection within a global network of shared history. Alongside her ecological awareness of the value of reuse, this guided her toward a conscious decision to work solely with such materials.

Her work explores active listening and attunement to stories and energies present within and around her, aiming for a spontaneous yet meaningful practice rooted in awareness and connection. Her designs serve as a starting point, while the qualities of the materials, such as color palettes and textures, guide the creative process, allowing each piece to evolve organically.

Foteini is a self-taught weaver. She has studied photography, animation, is a certified secondary A&D and media teacher, and holds an MA in art & design education from the UK. She has exhibited work as a weaver, animator and photographer in Europe and Brazil, and has been an art and media teacher for over 20 years. Her latest show was in Paris in 2025, as part of a group exhibition.
