About The Hominis
The Hominis
Future Archaeology
The Hominis is a brand that transcends the boundaries of design and jewelry, rooted in the philosophy of Future Archaeology. Founded by artist Fabián Pelayo, The Hominis explores the intimate relationship between creator and material, a concept Pelayo defines as being an "Archaeologist of Matter." This artistic approach focuses not on the final object, but on the material’s journey, allowing it to guide the process. Each creation emerges as a dialogue between the artist and the material, forming a symbiotic narrative where neither exists in isolation.
La Naturaleza de la Materia
Pelayo's creative vision is deeply intertwined with La Naturaleza de la Materia—the Nature of Matter—a philosophical exploration of existence and interconnectedness. This approach invites a reinterpretation of the material world, uncovering the beauty that lies in its raw, unaltered state. By connecting with the essence of the material, Pelayo captures its innate reality, revealing the beauty of imperfection and complexity that mirrors life itself.
Natural Textures
Rejecting the modern design ethos of streamlined functionality, The Hominis seeks to reframe our understanding of objects. Inspired by the Brutalist aesthetic, Pelayo's work embraces asymmetry and imperfection, drawing from nature to propose a new minimalism rooted in organic forms and symbolic use. Each piece is a gesture—a raw and honest expression of existence that reminds us of our shared evolution and primal origins.
At The Hominis, the objects created are not merely functional or ornamental but serve as tangible links to the past, present, and future—artifacts of our human and natural experience.
