Red-Figure Pottery: Reconstruction of Ancient Greek Culture utilizes vector tools to revive the artistic splendor of ancient Greece. This project encompasses redesigned typography and pottery inspired by that era, incorporating scenes from Greek mythology and featuring both heterosexual and homosexual themes. Ancient Greek pottery, particularly notable from around 530 BCE during the classical period, is one of the most iconic and tangible elements of ancient Greek art. Over time, the techniques used in pottery evolved, transitioning from the black-figure style to the more detailed red-figure style.

The red-figure style allowed for more intricate and vivid depictions of gods, mythological heroes, and historical figures. Battle and hunting scenes became common, along with increasingly prevalent erotic motifs. Many pottery pieces also bear the signatures of their creators, allowing for the identification of hundreds of artists through their unique artistic choices and decorative themes. Some of these artists are recognized by nicknames, such as “the Kleophrades Painter,” or by their origin, such as “the Berlin Painter.”
