Objects, Jewelry & Parallel Practices

Alongside painting, Angelo Tziara has developed a parallel body of work including jewelry, objects, constructions and performative actions.
These works were not conceived as preparatory gestures but as autonomous practices, often exhibited independently and later informing the conceptual depth of his painting.
Rooted in references to ancient cultures, ritual objects and symbolic forms from different civilizations, this body of work explores material memory, transformation and the persistence of archetypal forms.

Objects & Jewelry (1992–1994)

This series includes jewelry and objects presented at Ileana Tounta Gallery in Athens, under the exhibition From 3000 BC to Byzantium.
Selected works from this series were later exhibited at the Benaki Museum.
Drawing from multiple cultural references and early symbolic systems, these pieces combine handcrafted techniques with raw, elemental materials.

Performative Objects / Proto-Works

These works emerged through performative actions and photographic documentation, allowing space for later transformations.
The term Proto-works refers to early forms that anticipated subsequent plexiglass jewelry and sculptural constructions.
