In Greek mythology the “Kentavroi” (or Centaurs) were tribe

of half man, half horse savages which inhabited the

mountains and forests of Mount Pelion in Thessaly, while

another tribe of Kentavroi resided in the western

Peloponnese where they came into conflict with the hero

Hercules, son of Zeus.

They were a primitive race who made their homes in

mountain caves, hunted wild animals for food and armed

themselves with rocks and tree branches. The “Kentavroi”

were spawned by the cloud nymph Nephele who was raped

by the impious Lapith King Ixion. Her double-formed brood

were deposited on Mount Pelion where the daughters of the

centaur-god Kheiron nursed and fostered them to adulthood.

They were invited to attend the wedding of their half-brother

Peirithoos, the Lapith king, but became drunk and attempted

to carry off the bride and the female guests. In the battle

which ensued the “Kentavroi” were all but wiped out.

My new line of handmade accessories is a luxury

craftsmanship inspired by those mythical divine creatures of

sublime beauty and unparalleled strength.

Thus the pieces are made with premium natural materials,

like lustrous horsehair, soft leather, metal, cannabis cord,

white quartz crystals, pyrite and more…

These are the elements that in my mind bind together the

savage centaurs and the delicate aloof nymphs of my Hellenic

Heritage. I tried to capture the magic, spirituality, divinity and

beauty of Ancient Times and bring it to you with a

contemporary dynamic twist.

Hope you enjoy it!
