""How can I compliment it and dance with it?""
""In every piece I make, or space I create, there's a link to historical references," she says. "And that, of course, nurtures your practice, and makes you have a very particular point of view-which is what we all want as creatives.""
""Athens is really a sanctuary for me-a place to create, to disconnect, and to find a slower rhythm that is tight to the ethos of the studio," says Bolaño, comparing her time spent in NYC and Paris. "Athens grounds me.""
Bolaño refined very little, preserving existing architecture and whitewashed walls to maintain a humble, intentionally monastic atmosphere. Over three years she assembled a deliberate collection of objects to inspire creativity, selecting vintage pieces, items made by friends, and finds from Greece. The open-layout living room includes a coffee table designed with a former partner using two rock fragments inspired by strolls along the Acropolis, a colorful collection of ancient glass on built-in shelving, and an upholstered bench featuring a handmade ceramic button imprinted with textures from nearby ruins. Each object links to historical references, reinforcing a distinctive creative perspective, while Athens functions as a grounding sanctuary.
