Interview with Maria Kotsoni

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I was born into an artistic family and had a carefree childhood, close to nature, by the sea and amongst the antiquities in Paphos, Cyprus. I guess all that nursed my artistic nature. Since childhood, I was drawn into small three dimensional shapes like pebbles, fragments of ancient ruins and natural forms like shells and insects or plants. I became familiar with all these stimuli by collecting and studying them. By the age of seventeen, I was certain I wanted to become a jewellery designer.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
My company was founded in 2005 when I decided to settle in Cyprus after my studies in London and after living and working as a free lance designer and an independent Artist in Athens, Greece. My design studio and Showroom is situated in the historic center of the Cyprus capital, Nicosia.
What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
I cannot speak of a most favorite; all my designs are expressions of ideas and carry on messages, perceived by those who are sensitive enough to appreciate them. I guess I feel more connected to some pieces than others but the connection is unique with each different piece as it expresses a different idea.
What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
My favorite media is gold which I love it’s authentic yellow color, reminiscent of the ancient masterpieces that inspired me.
