Biography:
The road is long , the road is made up of many experiments and of many mistakes. I started down this path of jewelry some years ago . At the beginning I tried a lot of elements and methods of work . It is important to learn and have a great bag of tools to make creating pieces of jewelry posible . And over time it is settling into makeing the things you like in particular , with the methods I learned and mastered and based on things that I like and enjoy . Sometimes it is the coming together of all these factors that helps a creator to make not just a piece they like . They make a piece that represents them in the truest form of who they as a creative individual. Of course during a persones life there has to be change , there has to be growth and the has to be a moment to learn from mistakes and move on. I am still learning and figureing out one or more of the elements for that moment when I can finish a piece and say happily that , that piece reprezents me or a moment of my journey and or a moment in time.
Collection Concept:
For the last three years I have gone down the road of the making of one particular element . I have settled on one element , paftale . The role of the piece has not changed . It is still meant too be worn around the waist , it still needs to be closed tight in order to hold the clothes close to the body . All I do is play with the style , with the elements , with the materials , with the stones . I can make one piece made in one style , it could inspired from a medieval treajure with a lot of stones and simple in metalwork . And the other I can look to art nouveau or greek theater masks , and thre are fewer small stones but much more metal work .I would say that all I make today is between two moments in history when it comes to style and elements . And the rest is my personal way of making jewelry.
