Personal Statement

My work reflects simple geometrical shapes with a combination of ‘non –crisp’ straight, diagonal lines and angles resulting in large-scale jewellery. The simplicity of designs and shapes is often accentuated by vibrant colours. A subject matter often forms the focus of a collection with each piece of jewellery emitting ‘playfulness’ with the subject matter.

Influences derive from everything around me but with an interest in areas that nourish the tendency towards simplicity. My interest in the work of Joan Miro, where lines, shapes and motifs form the backbone of his work were the building blocks for my first collection.

I work mainly with silver and other metals which have a strong tradition in the field of jewellery, but also with a combination of materials, frequently using enameling techniques to express my visual language and inspiration.

My jewellery is to be worn by ‘ordinary’ people, while each piece has a particular characteristic. The simple lines and shapes produce forms which become an extension of the wearer, thereby highlighting individuality.

I graduated from London Metropolitan University with an HND in Jewellery silversmithing and allied crafts, having also attended numerous jewellery short courses at St Martin’s college.
I was born in Cyprus but now live in Athens, where in January 2009 I set up my own workshop designing and making jewellery.
