"Eau trouble" Sterling silver, aquamarine, ruby, chalcedonys, keshi pearl, satin thread; hand fabricated, one-of-a-kind

Driven by the desire to create instinctively, I shape fragments of jewels that act as the starting point of my pieces.

This technique allows me to fashion, through improvisation, part of the piece of jewellery that I then complete by patiently adding to it.

Guided or not by a theme, I interpret, contrast and establish the interplay of shapes and material.

In my understanding and according to the nature of things, opposites attract.

Thus, I strive to challenge the feeling of fragility and immutability and reach the boundaries of balance, making a connection with the human race at the same time.
