About the artist

Giannis Dendrinos is a Greek artist creating sculptures by using industrial spare parts such as ball bearings, engine parts, valves, pistons and various metal industrial parts. By assembling these parts by welding, he creates artworks of various themes. One of his favourite themes are motorcycles and motorbikes. His motorbikes, motorcycles are unique in design and inspired by fantasy. He has created over 300 motorcycle decor artworks.

What is a motorcycle?

A motorcycle (or motorbike) is a vehicle used to transport people from one place to another. It does not have 4 wheels like a car. It has 2 wheels like a bicycle. But it has a motor like a car. A motorcycle is usually driven by one person. A passenger can also ride on the back of the motorcycle. Some motorcycles have a sidecar that can carry another passenger.

In 1901, the first successful motorcycle was made by “Indian motorcycles” in Springfield, Massachusetts. Since then, many other companies have made them. Major manufacturers include Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha. A well known American manufacturer of motorcycles is Harley-Davidson.

Since motorcycles can be lighter than cars, they can accelerate more quickly. But it also makes them not as safe as cars, because they do not have a protecting chassis around them like cars. Very often motorcycle riders are injured heavily in accidents. A motorcycle rider can wear a helmet and clothing that has armor. This special clothing may reduce the rider’s injuries in an accident. Motorcycles also do not protect riders against wind and rain. That makes it difficult to drive in winter or during bad weather.

In poor countries, motorcycles are used by many as a cheap method of transportation. Many people who do not have the money to buy a car can afford a small motorcycle. In rich countries, large powerful motorcycles are used more as a hobby or sport.

Origin of word decor

The word originates from 1897, from a show “scenery and furnishings,” from French décor (18c.). Originating from the verb décorer which means”to decorate” (14c.), from Latin decorare “to decorate, adorn, embellish, beautify,” from decus (genitive decoris) “an ornament.

Originally in English in reference to theater stages; home-decor is by 1900 in reference to copies of old masters paintings used as home decoration; general use for “decorations and furnishings of a room, building, etc.

Buy a unique ball bearing metal sculpture

This ball bearing sculpture is part of my abstract series of sculptures. It does not symbolize something particular. I mostly play with form and materials. Here I liked the composition between a hard material such as metal and a soft cloth.

What is a ball bearing used for?

The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It achieves this by using at least two races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls. In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is attached to the rotating assembly (e.g., a hub or shaft). As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each other.

More about ball bearing

I use only metal scrap parts for my art sculptures. Passionate about mechanics and art, I started creating with metal and scrap since the age of 18. My themes vary between humanoid, figurative, transportation, motorcycle, abstract. The latest years I have adopted a passion for lighting. I started adapting lighting in my art sculptures. Why not combine uniqueness and functuionality.

What is Kilimi Jewellery? 

Kilimi Jewellery is an artistic project launched in 2018 in Athens by Panagoula Bouli.

They become a statement, a link between the old and the new, a transition from tradition to modernity.  

A symbol to wear  

REMEMBER 

Tarnishing is a natural process. 

It’s a surface discolouration caused by the interaction of oxygen (air) with the silver.  

However, there are more facts that affect this process.  

Sweat, body cremes and perfumes play a huge part.   

Store your jewellery in a safe, dry place.   

Avoid moisture and liquids (perfumes, body cremes and so on).   

Always check that the word silver refers to the metal,

and not to the colour of the piece.

What is symbolic art? 

Symbolic is art is a form of art  to convey the hidden meaning to the reader or listener. 

It tells us about artistic expression and represents abstract ideas. 

However, it is not limited to poetry and literature. 

Symbolism is one of the most important elements which gives depth to art; 

it can be the color of the painting or the depiction of characters

that are significant to symbolic to some specific themes. 

A painter uses symbolism when he wants to put emotions and ideas in the picture 

which we can’t experience with our five senses.
