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!
