IZA,V x SOMA — XMAS CATS
about the artist.
IZA, V aka Xenia Vitos is a british/greek artist and designer based in Athens, Greece. The name of the brand was born from the Greek word 'η ζαβη' which literally and metaphorically translates to, ‘a little strange and crooked'. IZA,V jewelry is hand-sculpted ceramic and fused together with experimental glazes and iridescent lustres. The designs are inspired by the wonky organic gems of nature and the quirky humour in life. The whimsical and unconventional jewelry pieces are meticulously hand-sculpted from clay and adorned with reclaimed curiosities, semiprecious stones, pearls, shells and other tiny wonders.
Xenia’s unique creations have a tactile and precious appearance that begs to be collected, touched and adored, like magical relics or natural wonders found on a trip to some fantasy land.
