Designer biography:
I have always made jewelry, in my childhood I used to play with copper wire and small beads that I had stolen from my mom’s jewelry box. Later, after I graduated from the Ion Mincu architecture university, with the materials I had left from the layout, I started making with a dear friend plexiglass jewelry. That period of time was very important for my journey. I could apply the esthetics learned in college so that I could enter the wonderful world of contemporary jewelry. Some years ago I can say porcelain found me, and it was an epiphany. The moment I touched the wet clay, I knew this was my journey. I like to seek inspiration in the living world around me, but also in the city textures and lights.
Collection concept:
“City shades”
The collection is an invitation to really watch the city you live in, to really love it, truly feel every corner and every line and every shade, as it carries so many lives. It carries joy and love and pain, all behind was enclosed doors. Sometimes it’s not easy to love the city as it is hard to see it behind the noise and the dust but its energy is something you should really look for. I find it amazing how, at night, behind each light that you see in a building there is a life, completely different from yours. There are so many stories, and so much to see in the city.
