Written By Evzo Jewellery

2-31 of October, the third presentation of "Eloquence of paper, jewelry" will take place at Context Galeria at Barcelona, Spain.
Wednesday – Friday 11:30 – 13:30 and 17:30 – 20:00
Opening: 9 October, 19:00.

"Eloquence of paper, jewelry" is a collection of Contemporary International Jewelry in which 24 designers participate.
Often, paper is classified as an ephemeral material due to its lightness. Too fragile, too strong, perhaps, to carry the art inscribed in it.
However, the paper is aware of its own materiality, calling the creators to claim its delicate surface as a means of expression.
Wrinkled, folded, dyed, or sewn, paper stimulates our curiosity and facilitates our own inspiration. Although simple, flat, and affordable, it is magnified, enhanced, and transformed with the abundance and moderation of those who manipulate it. There are other materials that, sometimes, are confused with paper and this exhibition gives them an opportunity. It is intended to go beyond the language of paper. This exhibition is not about the paper jewelry itself, but about something that suggests it, regardless of the material and technique used.

Evzo Jewellery

Evgenia Ζoidaki lives and works in Greece. In 2003 she graduated from the Mokume School of Higher Education in Athens, where she studied design and crafting of handmade and mass-produced jewellery.

Since 2015 she runs her own studio, Evzo, where she creates jewellery made of gold, silver, gemstones, enamel and synthetic materials.

Her creations are inspired by everything that surrounds and affects her, from ancient art to whatever captures the eye in modern cities where she travels. She has shown her work in group exhibitions and as an individual artist in Europe and the USA.

She has been a Silver- and Gold-smithery instructor for Handmade and Mass-Produced Jewellery since 2017.

The studio’s name, Εvzo, was formed using the first letters of her full name, Evgenia Zoidaki, and is a reference to the ancient Greek term εὖ ζῆν: εὖ means “well” and ζῆν denotes “survival”, ”life”. For ancient Greeks, εὖ ζῆν represented the ultimate good: the art of living well. It entails achieving physical and mental health and leads to the improvement of a person’s quality of life in all areas, allowing them to reach the state of happiness.
