Bio
I’m an architect and a jewelry designer, with a passion for color, texture and fluid, organic shapes. I started making jewelry in 2009, when I was still in college studying to become an architect and I was searching for a different way to express my ideas with more freedom. In 2020, I had the honor to receive the Assamblage Award at Romanian Jewelry Week 1.0 and this gave me the courage to expose myself and what I create more.
Artist Statement
I think Jewelry as Art to wear, fulfilling a profound need for self-expression. I aim to create sculptural, evocative objects that establish an emotional connection, bringing together the right piece with the right wearer. I often use alternative, non-precious materials- like paper, wool and wood, next to precious metals and pearls, questioning the value we give to jewelry. I use materials to encapsulate ideas, believing in the greater value of the message, of the emotion. Art jewelry offers me the creative freedom to experiment, to search for new ways of telling my stories, helping others to connect and to express themselves through the jewelry they wear.
