bronze — Participants 2020 — ROMANIAN JEWELRY WEEK

For me, a piece of jewelry is not worn. You wear it to let yourself be carried into its world.
It is more than just an accessory which enhances a fashion context. It is a sign with its own message, creating unexpected relationships between an idea which has just discovered new means of expression and a shape, uniquely articulated by the juxtaposition of materials (silver, brass but also precarious materials encountered accidentally - pieces of wood, paper, etc). The jewelry becomes an unconventional collage, a metamorphosis of the initial purpose of the materials and also of the bearer which is in touch with it.

Antonio Dumitrescu (Romania) - Designer

I am a graduate and a M.A. of UNArte National University of Arts, the Faculty of Decorative Arts and Design, specialized in Metalwork and I began to exhibit my creations publicly, in Romania and abroad, since 2015. In 2018, after completing courses at Assamblage, I started to think about adding jewelry design to my independent working activity. I try to build into silver and bronze, at a much smaller scale, the shapes and volumes I imagine in my smiting projects.

Diana Tobosaru - Anayd Blu (Romania) - Designer

I graduated (B.A.) the scenography section from UNARTE, I worked in the theatre “Sica Alexandrescu” in Brasov, then, for 28 years, I tried to bring value to advertising. Now I design and manufacture unique jewelry or limited series trying to give them meaning and value through the symbolism of the message they carry.

Renata Dragusin (Romania) - Designer

I am a graduate of the Romanian-American University of Economics, but after completing several courses at Assamblage School of Contemporary Jewelry, I started to work as an independent jewelry designer. In my jewelry design I seek out the almost imperceptible details in lines, colors, forms that are surrounding us and in the reflection of light. I think there is a subtle geometry in our everyday life.

Gabriela Ramirez Michel (Mexico) - Designer

I am interested in the fact that sculpture has a no verbal language, beyond limits, beyond meanings, the emptiness in my pieces is not a thing, it is an energy.
