Fine jewels in a unique location are set to charm locals and visitors this week as Pafilia’s landmark project, Minthis presents a Cypriot artist’s fine jewellery exhibition. On Saturday and Sunday, Maria Kotsoni will showcase her elegant creations and craftsmanship at the luxurious Paphos resort.
Born and raised in Cyprus, designer-jeweller and micro-sculptor Kotsoni founded her eponymous brand in 2016 after establishing her workshop in Nicosia, where she is officially based. Holding a BA Hons from the prestigious Central Saint Martins, London, she has developed a unique approach in crafting unique and bespoke jewellery pieces. Her portfolio includes designs for the high-profile jewellery industry in Athens and she is celebrated and respected as a solo jewellery artist with exhibitions in both Europe and New York.
Maria’s strong bond to her island’s rich cultural background is evident throughout her work, combining a love of nature and keen interest in archaeology, philosophy, travel and the modern world.
“We are delighted to showcase Maria’s exceptional talent and beautiful craftsmanship at Minthis, her design philosophy perfectly complements our resort combining distinctive styles and blending traditional with innovation and modern design” said Executive Director Evangelia Eliadou.
The exhibition will be based at the Plateia, a social square that opened at Minthis Resort with the intention of creating an atmosphere that not only appeals to all but celebrates Cypriot roots and highlights internationally acclaimed artists that are both authentic and modern in their approach.
“Join us and immerse yourself in a world of exceptional talent and passion with Maria Kotsoni,” they say.
