Collection Concept:
In today’s kaleidoscopically changing society, the concept of beauty is also changing. A person living in a decorated, manipulative environment is constantly irritated by various advertisements, commercial offers and political promises. Looking around, we realize what kind of concept of beauty is offered to us, the rituals of modern consumption, blunt TV shows that encourage excessive consumption, constantly self-improving bodies, supermarkets, which are like modern galleries offering a variety of beauty experiences - both visual and acoustic. Living in a society of artificial eyelashes, glued nails, puffy lips, when natural beauty becomes complex, a desire to look for the most natural forms possible arises.
I usually draw inspiration from various forms of nature. I often use trilobite fossils, which I combine with silver plant motifs or just organics shapes. The jewelry being created is an expression of my inner cry and resistance as a creator. A kind of exaggeration against overly artificial, indeterminate tensioned forms. My task as a metal artist is not to torture, suffocate, the object being created and to allow it to “live”; to observe how a small piece of jewelry fits the whole micro world; to admire the metal turning into a living organism, which later lands on the body.
