These words must continue [...]

“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. There is inspiration to be found in everything – in a meeting, a shape, a feeling, a reflection, a movement, in [...]
Nelly Van Oost
The discovery of where we’re going while being aware of where we’re coming from is a strong creative tool. A few days ago, Nelly Van Oost presented her new website where you can find much about her work. She’s a member of the Borax 08001 collective [...]

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
Silvia Walz: Vestiges in a time-other Silvia Walz shows us her work here in a retrospective which is more like one stage in an artistic career in process.

Bent Rounds. Neckpiece. Cotton Agave handmade paper, Oaxaca Mexico. Palietas. Neckpiece.

I studied jewelry in Florence, I’m Italian but I live and work in Barcelona since 2007. I think that jewelry and, in general, art are a way to express the beauty that is inside ourselves. Creativity is what gives meaning to my life. I work without rules, taking care of details and [...]
“Signature” Exhibition by Myung Urso at Velvet da Vinci
Hometown Brooch Combination Poem Neckpiece Since I have begun to make jewelry as an art form people frequently ask what are my signature works. Signature defines a creative person’s identity. When originality is applied to art it expresses a personal visual statement. My jewelry as an art expression transforms itself [...]

object/necklace Silver, leather, old book covers, cotton, paint 11 x 6 x 6 cm My work reflects my intimate world.

“Unforgettable”, Exhibition by Lucia Massei at Antonella Villanova
“La très chère était nue, et, connaissant mon coeur, Elle n’avait gardé que ses bijoux sonores, Dont le riche attirail lui donnait l’air vainqueur Qu’ont dans leurs jours heureux les esclaves des Mores. 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 [...]

The intimacy of adornment inspires me. I am intrigued with where my objects go after I make them. I see all art as a form of communication, but in the case of adornment, much of the conversation lies in the hands of the wearer and viewer. This is what excites me the most about [...]
