Designer biography:

After having earned a degree in Art History with a final dissertation on the Greek Goldsmith, the artist attended a Goldsmith School and at the same time a renowned silverware workshop in Rome. In 2002 she started her workshop and spread her creations through personal exhibitions or during important jazz music festivals and by lending her works for films and television dramas. In recent years she has devoted herself exclusively to contemporary jewelery as the application of classical techniques to the transmission of social messages.. The jewel thus becomes an "wearable" instrument of denunciation, not only to embellish but to make us reflect on the world around us in every aspect and criticality.

In each collection / work there is a compromise between the narrative needs and the wearability of the jewel with some exceptions where inspiration and expressive needs take over. The lost wax micro sculpture is the chosen technique declined in silver, bronze and gold; these are accompanied by epoxy resin. 

Awarded at Artistar Jewels in 2019, she also exhibited during the last three editions of the Romanian Jewelry Week in Bucharest, at Autor Fair, in Madrid and in the 1st international meeting of contemporary jewelry in Simancas.

In 2022 she was invited to exhibit  in Milan during Salone del mobile, at the Baltimore jewelry center and at SNAG conference 2022 - Adorned spaces, Providence. From September at  the 6th Biennial of Contemporary Jewelry at the National Museum of Arts in Lithuania, in Bucharest for Romanian Jewelry week 3.0 and was selected for Tincallab challenge 2022 at Tincal lab, Porto (Portugal) closing  the year in London for Cluster Fair.

Collection concept:

Dream Collection

Dreams are an essential part of our life. Whether in daydream or deep in sleep they affect our lives. There are dreams that come true because you fight for it to come true, we follow our goals hoping that something change in our life. The hope of being able to succeed, the fear that everything failed live together as dreams and nightmares in our way of feelings. Bad dreams are captured by invisible nets that let pass only the good one, freedom’s dreams of hundreds of women that see their rights and their lives betrayed, dreams of people that cross the see on a boat and the colorful dreams of children. In the night, than, dreams are on the border between the wake and the sleep that speaks of bodies connected, shared beates and of whom live love on their skin.
