C.Karakalpaki

Christina Karakalpaki is a trained architect who fell in love with contemporary jewellery.
She perceives the creative process as a constant flow of evolution and a quest for the unexpected, short for life. Thus, her work is a result of blissful, often unprecedented, yet focused experimentation.
She likes to explore materials; She dares to stretch their boundaries and play with their textures.
As most architects, she obsess with pure lines and clear structures, but she also likes exploring the symbiosis of contradictory elements. She often works with shapes in repetition to create patterns and strives to get a balanced composition.
Sometimes she is also thrilled by the opportunity of giving multiple functions in a single piece and tries to make versatile accessories.
Her work subtly carries her Greek origin, but also her feelings and her perception of the world around her.
