Biography:

Alexandra Prelipcean is an architect by formation and a contemporary jewelry designer, with a passion for fluid, organic shapes and alternative materials. Thinking of Jewelry as Art to wear, she aims to create sculptural, evocative objects that establish an emotional connection with the wearer.

She started making jewelry in 2009, when she was still in college studying to become an architect, while she was searching for a different way to express ideas with more freedom.

In 2020, she received the Assamblage Award at Romanian Jewelry Week 1.0 and this gave her the courage to expose herself and what she creates more.

Collection Concept:

In a 1952 interview, Henri Matisse described a large mural composition of cut-papers forms, pinned to his studio walls, as a “little garden”. “You see, as I am obliged to remain often in bed because of the state of my health, I have made a little garden all around me where I can walk. There are leaves, fruits, a bird...”

This collection was created as a tribute to Matisse’s garden, inspired by his simplification of formal shapes into signs, by the relationships between positive and negative, but mostly by his power of not giving up, pioneering a new form of art at the end of his career.
