The Taimeless Art Gallery in Taormina, one of the most important art sites in Italy. It will reopen on March 27, 2025. Closed for a few months to work on new artistic spaces and start again with a new impetus.
The Hand of Taimen is a lava hand, two hands in one. The hand of King Taurus and the hand of his wife Menia, founders of Taormina. Installed outside the Taimeless Gallery in Taormina, on the palm of the hand there is a Vulcan Hourglass, which marks time and strength. Resting the palm of your hand on Taimen lengthens life and love.
It was March 23, 2024 and the opening of Taimeless was preceded by an extraordinary Gala Evening held in the historic and prestigious location of Palazzo Ciampoli, where, since the afternoon, thousands of guests arrived in Taormina and during the event the large rooms of the palace seemed small to accommodate the crowd that climbed up the Scalinata Ciampoli. International art critics, friends of the three owners of the Gallery, institutional figures, artists, designers, all together enjoyed an evening dedicated to Art, one of a kind, about 4500 people, arriving from all over the world, something unique and rare for an Art Gallery.

Taimeless is also an elegant and refined jewelry store, where the unique and exclusive luxury Taimeless Jewelry and Accessory are distributed. Our jewelry is offered in a multitude of interpretations, in various geometric shapes and colors. The shades of gold, the vibrant colors of precious stones, as well as the brilliance of diamonds create a wonderful collection of necklaces, rings, earrings, brooches and bracelets. The jewelry design we have selected is for everyone: from those who adopt a minimalist style, to those who love to stand out and adopt different styles. Our Lava Jewels are our identity, an ancestral jewel, from the rock in a molten state that comes out following an eruption, to the same rock once it has solidified after cooling, it is shaped into a unique jewel. In the vast universe of jewelry, the expression “high jewelry jewel” highlights a category of creations that goes beyond the traditional concept of ornament. These masterpieces display a unique elegance and splendor, becoming true icons of refinement and luxury. A special jewel is more than a simple ornament; it is a work of art created with artisanal mastery. Every detail is taken care of with precision, from the setting of the stones to the modeling of the metal. The artisans dedicate hours of work to create unique pieces that express their skill and passion.
Sparkling diamonds, rare gems, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and noble metals such as platinum, gold, become the basic ingredients of these extraordinary creations. The careful choice of high-quality materials helps to give an aura of prestige and intrinsic value to the jewel. Another distinctive feature is the exclusive design. Taimeless jewels present unique creations, personalized to reflect the personality of the wearer. Every detail, from the shape to the engraving, is carefully studied to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Wearing such a jewel goes beyond simple decoration; is a way of expressing a lifestyle, an innate elegance and an appreciation for art and beauty. The complexity of the creation combined with the value of the precious stones, return a jewel of inestimable beauty. The durability and intrinsic value of a high-end jewel make it an investment over time. These pieces often become family heirlooms, passed down from generation to generation, maintaining their beauty and meaning over the years.
The last true luxury that humanity of all times and places can afford is “time”, a limited wealth that does not discriminate based on wealth. The mission is to grant the illusory certain luxury of time, the window through which one enjoys life. Lived with love, elegance and commitment, it guarantees eternity and is the essence of the best that humanity creates. Taimeless aspires to be a “sensation suspended in time” by promoting the works of the Masters of Art, aiming for eternity in an infinite moment of happiness. True art makes man eternal through values and principles. Taormina, a magical place where time seems to stop, celebrates the Pathos of art, influenced by illustrious figures such as Klimt, Wagner and Wilde.
Taimeless is the essence of who we are; admirers of iconic beauty who, with strength and determination, typical of those who love Italy, want to be its ambassador in the world.
It is no coincidence that we chose this name which, on the one hand, refers to the English “Timeless”, on the other contains both the ‘TA” of Taormina and the ”T’AIME” of I love you. Taimeless embodies and wants to make its own the meanings and aspirations inherent in these three words.
“Timeless”: whose ancient etymology, Gallic even before English, means “not changed – not limited”, has been imagined over the centuries as “suspended time”: where everything – the same as itself – is forever, or, in any case, for an unlimited time, immune from changes, without an end.
Although Man is well aware that time flows inexorably, between a beginning and an end, between a birth and a death, he strongly clings to the only certainty of eternity: “living” in love and in all the ethical, aesthetic values that make harmony, refinement and elegance a powerful balm for the soul as well as a true and unique legacy for future generations.
“Ta” – Taormina: ancient land, crossroads of people, where time has been marked by the great events of history; a magical place, epicenter of the dream that is at the same time the flow and stopping of time.
”T’aime”: without love, which elevates us from the sinister and misleading idols of power, worth and possessions, there can be no hope or its manifestation, which is art
”The Hourglass”: Everything is tempered by the hourglass, the very symbol of time and its flow. As said, however much one may dream and lean towards eternity, time flows and is measured.
”The Volcano”: The A of Taimeless, is not just an hourglass, it is also a Volcano, the Force, Energy in its purest state. The creative power of a millenary symbol, always a source of inspiration and fascination for humanity and artists.
The true and only luxury that Man of all times and all places can allow himself is “time”. It does not matter if You, Man, are rich or not, time ends for everyone. Time is a limited wealth, because there are no incomes or “benefits” in this type of economy. Therefore, allowing yourself the luxury of time in a present, illusorily certain, which is already past and stretches towards a shapeless future, is our philosophy. Time is the highest form of luxury. It is the window that allows Man to enjoy life. This is why over the centuries generations of thinkers, such as Archimedes and Leonardo Da Vinci, have followed one another in the frantic attempt to understand its mechanisms, to measure it, to stop it.
Time cannot be owned, but it is the only essential thing for living. Time lived with love, with elegance, with commitment is what guarantees eternity because they fly the best that humanity can ever create. Luxury, the availability of managing one’s own time. The Hourglass is the symbol of our “concept”.
Today, the epicenter of taste and beauty, open to the multiple sensibilities of the globe, is rooted in Italy. Our task will be to guarantee, protect and promote those uniquenesses that can boast of being Italian because the design, planning, and manufacturing took place on “our” territory. Also comparing ourselves with international excellence.
Through the promotion of the works of the Masters of Art we want to iconize our philosophy, trying to make it more tangible, stopping “Your time”, to suspend it in an infinite moment of happiness and fulfillment for Your soul.
Art, the real one, is itself beauty, elegance and knowledge, and makes the living, the MAN who wins the passage of time and becomes eternal thanks to his values and principles that shine through the work itself.
This is what pushed us to give birth to our project in Taormina; one of the most beautiful places in the world, with a breathtaking view, between the crystalline reflections of the Ionian Sea and the dormant massifs of the Etna volcano, whose energy shapes the air, influencing the ancient magic that stops time; land of fire and love.
The Pathos of art in Taormina, is a journey into the history of its influences and its dominations, which have left indelible traces and which have seen it as an inspiring muse over the centuries of illustrious painters, musicians, writers and poets, such as Klimt, Wagner, Gay de Maupassant, Lawrence, Wilde, Goethe and many others.
All captivated by the Italian charm where you have the sensation that time passes slowly, almost stops, as if the Gods had chosen a magical place to go and take refuge, and to play with nature, creating strong contrasts, where light has within itself the darkness, the good … the sea, life … death in a continuous yearning aimed at reaching a balance …, which is at the same time creative force and eternity.
Taimeless therefore sets itself the goal of capturing this suspended time …. eternal, choosing for you unique creations in the world that capture this essence, this creative force that is pure Energy.
