Death-Life



Necklace, 2005, paper and fishing line, 15x15x10000 mm

In this work, inspired in nature, I was focused on the transformation and deterioration which occur in nature after the fall of the petals of the flowers and the leaves of the trees; the way how they are received and camouflaged in the soil and their slow process of degradation which continues to allow life to develop itself. 

Cut

Brooches, 2004, oxidized Silver, 19x23x2 mm

Shadow


Pins, 2002, silver, rice paper and painted wood, different dimensions

Vice Versa


Necklace, 2002, aluminium and silk, 1060x37x10 mm

In this necklace I have applied an old tradition. A piece of jewellery was often crafted as preciously in the front side as in the back. 

Observe-Absorb

Rings, 2002, oxidized silver, 40x20x27 mm

At first sight one can´t imagine what can be discovered when you observe and absorb.

Nature & Time

Pin, 2002, silver, 17x17x18 mm


Throughout the years, nature has distinguished itself through its richness and its perfection and has awakened a constant desire in humanity to investigate it and subjugate it. My work refers to this investigation of nature, which has proved to be a never to be satisfied ambition.

OctoPearl


Necklace, 2000, pearls and rubber, 400x27x25 mm 

I decided to use the octopus image, due to its organic aspect and its orifices on the tentacles that seemed ideal to receive the pearls.
