PAISIOS x SALTY BSTRDS
The Bastard Alliance
Christos cracked.
Not by accident but from stillness, from routine, from the weight of doing nothing.
That crack didn’t break him. It opened him.
Through it poured earth, salt, fire.
And from it, he shaped vessels. Not perfect, but purposeful.
Every ceramic he makes is a rebellion against the smooth and the safe — raw forms stitched with meaning, textured with nature’s wild fingerprints.
To seal the cracks, he didn’t hide them. He filled them with art.
And because art attracts the raw, he found Paisios — a silversmith who forges defiance into metal. Together, they crafted objects that aren’t just made. They’re felt.
This is not a collaboration.
This is a bastard alliance — between two artists who don’t create by the rules.
They create because they can’t do otherwise.
Coral Lung
Breathing salt. Sculpted by storm.
This piece feels like something dredged up from the ocean floor—half organ, half reef.
Each hollow chamber opens like a coral polyp, allowing life, decay, and memory to pass through.
Made for those who carry the sea inside them.
Hand-built from raw clay, sealed with dark oxides, and finished with silver-infused details to echo ancient marine fossils.
- High-temperature clay and 925 sterling silver.
Selected for their strength, contrast, and timeless raw beauty.
Crafted in ritual, kept in salt. Only one of each exists.
