MISINEZA - Giota Zeritis

Giota Zeritis lives and works in Athens. The beginning of everything occurred when, years ago, she came into contact with a piece of jewelry made in Egypt out of nuts.

She was amazed by not only its earthy beauty but also the alternative use of such an insignificant material. Soon after that, she started experimenting with nuts, pieces of wood and aromatic roots.

Even though she studied music, she was completely captured by the art of jewelry making, integrating in it the creativity and harmony of stave.

As for her creations, she usually finds herself being driven by the material itself, with all its limitations and potentials. Recently, she has been working with materials made of polyester, such as vinyl and PVC.

Open to every challenge her artistic nature sets, she considers each piece of jewelry as an architectural construction, yet miniaturised.

Her work can be found in shops selling contemporary jewelry, museum shops and galleries around Greece and Europe.
