Maria Apostolopoulou
Athens, Greece. Greece
I was born in Athens, Greece in 1967. With a BA in stage design and
a long apprentiship next to a Greek painter learning sketching and
painting, I got involved in the world of gemstones and jewellery
during my glyptic studies next to the European master of glyptic
arts Nick Kielty-Labrinides.
I design jewels and engrave gemstones for Cosmochaos jewellery
design studio since 1994 while parallel I work as an independent
glyptic artist.
Through my work I explore the contemporary face of the ancient
intaglio type of glyptography and my vision is to contribute in the
rebirth of this almost forgotten form of art.
All these years I have exhibited my work in many international
jewellery fairs, in galleries and cultural foundations.
I also offer seminars of glyptography at Stemnitsa national
goldsmithery school, I am founding member of the Association of
Greek jewellery designers and full member of the Greek goldsmith
council. My glyptic collections are found at British museum since
2013.
