Artist Statement:
The jewelry reflects the emptiness alongside the passion, a yearning for a world not of structures and definitions but of a hidden beauty, beyond the known and familiar, secretive. My art works purpose is concrete and not necessarily decorative. It is functional and alive, there to expose the conflict rather than hide it, to bring it closer to the body and not to gently shy it away with decor. My jewelry is by definition an amalgam of nature and artificial innovation. An imaginary story or ancient fairytale, that rises from the mists of the past. It is a tool for both consolidation and hunting during fictional quests into lost worlds.
