Gold Wind of Life Кулон · 5 сорау
This piece of art is influenced by my art and minimalistic style, and draws inspiration from elements of Greek culture.
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
This piece of art is influenced by my art and minimalistic style, and draws inspiration from elements of Greek culture. Specifically, it is inspired by the line "Gold wind of life..." from "The Little Mariner," a poem by Odysseus Elytis, a Greek poet who was awarded the Nobel Prize. This artwork is also a tribute to Alekos Fassianos, a renowned Greek painter.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
My main focus was to combine art, fashion, and technology in a form that is aesthetically beautiful, retains the artistic value, the feeling or the concept of the artwork and is technologically achievable. I also wanted to incorporate elements of the Greek culture and the minimalistic style while overcoming the limitations of 3D printing technology and ensuring durability and lightness. There is a controversy surrounding the use of technology and whether it kills or not creativity nowadays, but for me, technology is what turns ideas into tangible possibilities, and it can drive creation. The pendant managed to balance all the above.
Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
The pieces of jewelry are produced by a 3D printing company. I sell the jewelry through my website, and I would like to collaborate with shops and extend my market reach.
How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
It is a line from a poem by Odysseus Elytis, in his collection "The Little Mariner". Odysseus Elytis is a Greek poet and winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize for Literature.
Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
I used drawing and 3D modeling applications.
