Yiannis Siotis is a controversial jewellery and object designer from Greece. After a long term of working next to fine craftsmen, he moved to UK where he established a high level of education at KIAD BA(hons) |Silver/Goldsmithing and Jewellery Design|, at UCA Master of Arts |Three Dimensional Design| and in Italy at Alchimia school of jewellery with Robert Smit. He finds inspiration through experience, the arbitrariness of subconscious and the elements of nature.
