HELLENISTIC LIGHT

Hellenistic light represents the ideal beauty, prevailing in paradise.
Light is treated as matter taking archetypal forms, yet it preserves its subtle character.
Mariza’s philosophy lies in the everlasting effort to introduce in everyday objects magic, renegotiating the relation between light and spiritual light. 
The lights are inspired by rich ornamentation of Hellenistic period, manifest the manipulation of the space. She uses shapes, not only to form lights that serve through their functionality, but have as an ultimate goal to achieve higher harmony through their geometry. It is in observing, that the shapes reveal their mysticism and elevate out spirit.
