“Forever Dead” Exhibition by Märta Mattsson at Platina
Märta Mattsson is not afraid of the repulsive; on the contrary, she sees beauty in the unpleasant. Fascinated by what we normally are disgusted by, she allows it to be material, processed and put into new contexts. Curiosity drives her to discover unexplored areas, finding alternatives to what is common. Like an 18th [...]

“Every Day”, Exhibition by Paula Lindblom at Sintra
EVERY DAY – each day like the next, but not quite…. Humour, warmth and austerity – three words I associate with my jewellery. I experience colour and shape in almost everything in my surroundings.

Our Western culture is one of commodity. That which is not within this circle of trade and indulgence is trash. I see memory and value in wood and in the origin of the material. With this in mind I render my Regalia of The Protectors, without completely removing their physical identity. A [...]
Retrospective Exhibition by Silvia Walz in Barcelona

Quand il jette en dansant son bruit vif et moqueur, Ce monde rayonnant de métal et de pierre Me ravit en [...]
Exhibition by Enric Majoral at Dieu, Moviment Creatiu
«Amb el temps he anat refermant-me en una forma de treballar bàsicament intuïtiva que es fonamenta en un diàleg directe, quasi físic, amb els materials i eines. Mai començo una peça o una col·lecció amb una idea prèviament concebuda… Començo jugant amb els materials, manipulant-los, observant el seu [...]
