Life, nature, existence itself, is all just contrast, opposition and contradiction. This duality is the essence of everything that surrounds us and builds us. Absolute truth does not exist. Only constant experimentation allows us to query the existing paradigms. One thing can be it and its opposite, at the same time. This relativity, often accompanied by wisdom, fascinates, excites and inspires me.
Inspired by the pure and organic nature as well as the industrial and "grunge" side of the city, I create ready-to-wear sculptures with original and vibrant contrasts. This opposition between crude and refined, between the organic and the geometric, between the pure and the impure, merge to give birth to pieces strong in contrasts and emotions but also filled with a new vision on things. A symbiosis between the pure and incongruous materials gives rise to remarkable works, but also allows new questioning and push the limits in modern jewelry.
My work that combines delicacy and femininity, sprinkled with a touch of eccentricity, are created using the techniques of traditional jewelry making, but also by using tools, techniques, and processes more innovative that come from any other fields. This is why opening these new horizons, not only by merging techniques but also materials, redefines the jewel itself. This alliance between traditional and new methods allows to transcend the limitations of contemporary jewelry and to bring further. In another world; mine.
