Greek artist Katerina Kondovraki fashioned the embroidery showing Plato and Aristotle in order to portray internationally the grandeur of Greek culture. It is a fact that Greece is the homeland of Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles and other great philosophers.
Greece is also the homeland of Olympian Zeus. Greek hospitality is well known to foreigners who have visited the country since times of old. Greeks have their own particular culture and unique traditions.
Katerina Kondovraki will gift this hand-made embroidery to the Secretary General of the United Nations, His Excellency Mr. Ban Ki-Moon and thereby to all member states of the United Nations.
Furthermore, the artist dedicates it to all readers of the Middle East Times in gratitude for their messages and dedication to artistic beauty. She would like to thank them all for their responses and encourages them to continue to communicate. Katerina Kondovraki is eager to send them copies of her works of art that were on display at her exhibition during the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
