Eros is life itself...

My symbolical Venus Is a powerful symbol of the consciousness rising from the unconscious mind: as femininity charged of creative possibility, it rises from the sea as Love. Here now she stands with her attributes in symbols and objects, as manifestations of biodiversity of life. Creativity, eros, life, immanence...

I have always pursued an ideal of natural, spontaneous, unsophisticated sensuality and eroticism. The beauty of simplicity, freedom and self-mastery. Nudity as an original condition, simply veiled by an unpretentious garment, but always underlying and present. In this way I imagine my pieces ideally represented: as symbols of emancipation rather than self-affirmation or status manifestations. Symbolic objects, rituals, celebrating a complete vision of the world.

In my work I pursue a ceremonial jewelry for a new religiosity of the Goddess.

Venus rising from the sea, dressed with shells and the power of life generation. Is a powerful symbol of the conscience rising from the unconscious mind, as Love.

When geometry fades into a spontaneous natural look. The result is something that seems without authorship, without intention. It is something that the Taoist part of my soul loves deeply and the rational part relentlessly pursues.
