Statement
This project means a space of experimentation from its origin, driven by the vital need to investigate outside the known physical and mental limits. It has meant a change in my lifestyle and my way of working.
UNA is the result of these changes. It's another way to approach the craft.
It's a millennial review of an Arts & Crafts Movement Manifesto.
Understanding Jewelry as something unique and Artistic that does not focus only on the value of the raw materials, but also on the ability to create pieces that will live on for generations.
The collection is composed by more than 20 pieces that are the result of a long research developing my own experimental process.
Through the microfusion process I have been able to bring an organic shape to metal, giving it properties that don't exist in its nature.
These organic shapes are produced from intuition and respecting the imprint of work tools including the fingerprints.
There is an intrinsic beauty in this process.
The use of wax, a material used since ancient times, is an incredible enabler of textures and shapes with movement, giving it a feel of connection with tradition.
