About Us
Welcome to Matakia Mou, where art meets tradition and meaning. Founded by sisters Nina and Vana, our business is a celebration of culture, craftsmanship, and heritage. Based on the timeless symbolism of the mati (evil eye)—a traditional Greek charm believed to ward off negative energy—our pieces are designed to bring beauty, protection, and positivity into your home.
Known by various names worldwide, this powerful symbol of protection transcends cultures. In Turkey, it is called the Nazar Boncugu; in Italy, the Malocchio; in the Middle East, the Ayn al-Hasad; and in India, the Drishti. Regardless of its name, its purpose of protection remains universal.
These one-of-a-kind art pieces seamlessly blend tradition with modern aesthetics. They are crafted with care and intention as Nina and Vana draw upon their shared heritage and unique creative styles. Each piece in the Matakia Mou collection is handmade using premium materials, with no design ever duplicated. Imperfections like bubbles and bumps add character, celebrating the artist's touch and the beauty of thoughtfully chosen elements. In a world of mass production, these meaningful creations stand apart as both personal talismans and original additions to your art collection, embodying a deep respect for cultural traditions and contemporary design.
At Matakia Mou, we’re more than just creators—we’re sisters, storytellers, and proud keepers of tradition. Thank you for being part of our journey. We hope our art brings warmth, positivity, and beauty to your home.
