IKAPOΣ (Icarus)
Giorgio Andreotta Calo’ IKAPOΣ (Icarus), 2023 Gold-plated brass cast twig and silver cast cocoon neck sculpture l 20.5 x 13.5 cm Unique Sold IΚΑΡΟΣ (ICARUS), consists in a twig cast in gold-plated brass and a cocoon of Argema Mimosae, a species of moth, cast in silver. The work is one of a kind. The hyper-realistically work, recalls the colouring of the insect’s envelope, recognizable precisely by its brown – silvery color as well as the naturalistic twig that embrace the neck of the wearer. Once a living sculpture, it is now a still life that marked the moment of birth and freedom, hence a metamorphosis blurring the line between reality and imagination. The artist created a real immersive wearable work of art that acts as a bridge between art and life, allowing the wearer to become an active participant experiencing first-hand the emotions of flight, liberation and the ephemeral nature of existence. Its lasting physical presence will always provoke introspection and dialogue about the fundamental human need for freedom, the transformative power of art, and the ever-elusive quest for self-discovery.

Collana (Necklace)
Giampaolo Babetto Collana, 1977 18kt yellow gold and niello necklace l 64cm unique and signed Giampaolo Babetto’s work reflects contemporary art movements such as concrete art, minimal art, kinetic or pop art in a unique, purist and plastic manner. His pieces are immediately recognisable by its simple design. He is inspired by the architecture of his homeland, by Palladio’s villas, and by the geometries in which he finds poetry. His jewellery is innovative in concept. Made up of different abstract elements, broken down into modular units, or rendered moveable through the use of ingenious links, Babetto’s works are like small architectural pieces or small sculptures. Babetto prefers working in gold due to its stable malleability and its warm sheen which he combines with unconventional materials such as plastic or glass, ebony, dusting the internal surface with a velvet-like pigment in luminous primary colours of reds or blues or using enamel and age-old niello-based techniques. These materials are used as highlights and contrasts in works of increasingly pure and essential geometrical forms that have come to characterise the Padua School.
Nestor
Sophia Vari Nestor, 2014 Ebony wood, 18kt yellow gold, onyx and leather pendant l 32 cm unique and signed Sold Originally from Gerenia, Nestor was an Argonaut, helped to fight the centaurs and also participated in the hunt for the Caledonian boar. He became the King of Pylosvafter Heracles , killed Neleus and all of Nestor’s brothers. He was said to have lived three generations by favour of Apollo : the years which the god had taken from Chloris and her brothers, he granted to Nestor. Vari’s sculptures have evolved through several stages in the last few decades. While her early work from the 1960s onwards was mostly figurative, in the 1980s, Vari began to employ rounded abstract forms that suggested the human body. Eventually she began incorporating planar and constructed forms into her work, and by the mid-1990s she had begun to apply colour to the surfaces of her dynamic sculptures. This use of colour contributes to the movement of Vari’s pieces, and her sculptural works, created both on a monumental scale and as table pieces, appear to move autonomously as the viewer walks around them. Her work across all media shares a certain playfulness and liveliness, with compositions in collage, watercolour and paint pushing […]

This piece harks back to ancient practices of wearing talismans, imbuing it with a sense of protection and connection to the earth. The collection is an homage to “The Botanic Age”—a time long before the Stone Age, when plants and trees were central to human development and creativity. Dr. Dean Falk’s research at Florida State University positions this era as the true cradle of civilisation, where botanic inventions like woven baskets shaped our cognitive and cultural evolution long before we wielded stone tools. Drawn from Oka Doner’s profound connection to the natural world and human history, her designs serve as spiritual meditations of this era, reflecting a time when humans were stewards of the earth rather than its masters. Her message resonates powerfully in today’s world as we face […]
