My name is Tonia Antoniou, and I am a theatre educator and the creator of the handmade bag collection tounwmou. My passion for art and storytelling inspired me to create pieces that carry meaning, history, and symbolism.
My work is inspired by prehistoric female figurines—timeless symbols of life, fertility, creativity, and feminine strength. Through color and hand painting, I aim to reintroduce these powerful symbols to a contemporary audience, transforming a simple canvas bag into a unique work of art.
Every bag is carefully hand-painted, making each piece one of a kind. My goal is to remind people that art can be part of our everyday lives while keeping the memory of our cultural heritage alive.
