Come and discover my different universes and and create your own collection of jewelry reflecting all faces of your rich and complex personality.
Cota is an acronym for Colorful and Contemporary, Ornamental (occidental & oriental) Traditional still Trendy Art jewellery.
Ornamental language is a form of self expression used since the dawn of humanity. Geometric, floral but also figurative ornaments has invaded our word appearing on the walls of our dwellings and institutes, on our cloths and all kinds of objects and tools that we use in everyday life or ceremonial occasions.
It is also a universal language helping humans to understand each other without words through distant times and spaces. Artists and craftsmen has transmitted the same desires and the same fears through this non-verbal communicational form the Far West to the Far East.
We are fascinated by the repeatedness of interlacing patterns appealing for a secret order of our universe, by the idea of infinity that has intrigued men since the beginnings. Looking at ornaments awakes in us feelings comparable to religious ideas without doctrines. They transform us into pious thinkers without being philosophers.
What we feel while looking at the richly decorated walls of mosques, Aboriginal paintings, illuminated medieval manuscripts, African wax tissues, Paul Klee's or a Vasarely's abstract compositions, is more than a mere aesthetic experience.While our eyes get lost in the labyrinth of geometric design, we become part of this abstract universe of forms and colours that link together Cultures and men all over the world.
Ornaments are also reused endlessly by humans. They constitute a royalty-free visual heritage that we can recycle and reinterpret at our pleasure or even mingle them at our pleasure in order to create new objets and artworks.
Cota invites you for a trip around the world through centuries with its colorful handmade jewelry design. Kata Keresztely, artist and designer searches for inspiration in different artistic traditions and uses their patterns combined with contemporary geometric design. She proposes a sensual, original and modern universe.
