MYTH
- APOSTOLOS KLEITSIOTIS
Music is Apostolos Kleitsiotis' passion, it keeps company to his thoughts and vision while working and connects him to Orpheus, the Thracian mystic, who went to Hades to get back his dead wife.
Music composed by Arcade Fire and Nick Cave on the myth of Orpheus and Eyridice are among Apostolos' favorite selections.
Although Orpheus lost his bet to cruel Persephoneia, mistress at the realm of dead, he is adored in all eternity by the mystes of love for his dedication and courage to despise death.
Apostolos' work focuses on the power of love, of passion, of art creation, as well as on tragedy and its overcoming. Through his art technique that makes jewellery look like moving and changing substance constantly, Apostolos pays tribute to the metaphysics of Orphism.
