Artist Statement
I'm Katia, I'm a jewelry designer and your friend. I used to be a philologist, and my background in literature studies is influencing my design work: I realized that even when making wearable objects I prefer to tell stories, often using graphic language, with clear shapes and bright colors. I enjoy kinetics and movement and I like when objects have faces, literal or implied - or letters and words, and sometimes both!. My tools of choice are CAD and a sense of humor, but I also like to work manually both with precious and not-so-precious materials.
