« Coup de ROUGE » avec Akis GOUMAS
Akis Goumas : découvert lors du dernier JOYA 2013, c’est un bonheur de le découvrir encore et encore !
« The process of designing a piece of jewelry or an object is a journey in time. I follow a path through emotions, concepts and images. It is an ensemble of elements, powered by memories, experiences and myths. My work is a medium, through which I aim to communicate with other people. I enjoy observing natural structures and studying prehistoric findings from the Aegean region with a group of archeologists. An elaborately braided bird nest, a delicate embroidered by vasculars flower capsule, the growth lines on a mollusk shell, the nettings formed by capillary vessels inside the body, are all parts of a world in which I like to lose myself in. I admire the resourcefulness and the intelligence of the anonymous prehistoric metal workers, who with only a few tools created masterpieces. They teach me how to decode ancient tool traces and techniques. The pieces that I make are three dimensional compositions-objects designed to be worn.” Techniques, materials, colors and textures are the language through which I express myself during these journeys of creating.«
