Workshop Nikos Kyriazopoulos

In the beginning of the 1970s Nikos Kyriazopoulos starts his training in silver-gold smithery and a while after he opens his own workshop, designing and creating objects and pieces of jewelry. The main source of inspiration for his creations is the Greek jewelry technic of the Byzantine and Archaic era.

In 1995 he gets to know the architect and painter Dimitrios Talaganis. They begin to create works based on designs of the latter, intended to be offered as gifts to officials.
