Paris, July 2025
Story of a Jewel
Inspired by her summer trip to Antibes, in July 2025, Ekaterina Aristova created a small series of works on paper (travel journal) entitled "Blue Moon." Returning to Paris and still inspired by the series and the summer nights of the French Riviera, she created a symbolic piece of jewelry, imagined as a souvenir de voyage —"Twilight in Antibes. Pink Moon"—a bracelet of 12 heart-shaped rose quartz stones and a golden crescent moon. It is unique.
The piece is presented in a black box on the wall as a (wearable) art object.
Story of a bag
When Ekaterina's favorite bag, from a famous French luxury house, cracked, the artist began to think about how to save it. While working on the first series of ceramics, Ekaterina came up with the idea of filling the holes with gold, as in the Japanese ceramic tradition of Kentsugi. However, inspired by this project, Aristova quickly created unique designs for several of her own bags, combining this idea with the artist's unique style.
