DIMITRA BESIOU
Cluster Contemporary Jewellery
”The Living Trace”
Drawn by her need to heal from her beloved father’s sudden loss Dimitra Besiou started designing and creating unique pieces of wearable art combining fragments of fine old porcelain. Having studied and practicing law up until today, Dimitra finds the world of creativity as a most needed spiritual path for expressing her inner identity.
Her pieces are distinctive for their unique motives, beautiful combination of colors and unexpected shapes, using porcelain originated worldwide and coming from various eras. Her creations are often polymorphous. We can see earrings also worn as necklaces or necklaces also worn as brooches through innovative techniques.
She is fascinated by the idea that her pieces hold an eco of the past though adorned with present elements, ready to narrate fresh stories. It is such process of renewal and rebirth that inspires Dimitra to create. Just like life; always evolving, always miraculous even in its brokenness.
Her recent collection is inspired by the mind journeys of the people struggling with dementia. Paying her high respects to the patients and their families, “Forget Me Not” Collection holds a deeply symbolic character. Experiencing such situation herself as a care giver for her mother, this collection is lovingly dedicated to her.
