INTERVIEW
WITH THE ARTIST - More about her work .
How and when do you start in the world of
designed jewelry?
My initiation
to designed jewelry was by accident, after year of painting and drawing I
decided to learn another technique, so I started learning vitreous enamel,
creating big pieces at the beginning, later
I worked on small pieces that I would take to a jeweller to be mounted
on silver.
I received
a lot of compliments when I was wearing these pieces, so I realized I should
started making them for others. So in 2005 I took a course in Jewelry Making at
the Massana Art
School in Barcelona .
While I was learning more enamel technique in the studio of other
enamellist.
By
2006 established my own work place, and
started with my first line of silver vitreous enamel jelwelry, and each year
after had a new line.
What motivates you to create a piece?
Art can not
only hang on the wall. Art can be wearable. This is my motive to create pieces
of art to be around a woman neck o hand. There are a lot of ladies who love art
and they like to go to art exhibitions, museums, concerts, so I can offer them
to wear this art.
Then, your inspiration is to breath art?
As a child
attending school in Madrid ,
my field days were to visit the museum El Prado, each year we had about thee or
four trips, I grow up with art surround me. I have spent my life visiting
galleries and museums, at each city I have travel.
My
inspiration is based on a lot of the impressionist artists, neoclassic o
cubists.
Also nature
inspired me a lot, I have a line based on trees, green or autumn leaves. I cut
these leaves from a piece of copper and
I believe this line will never end.
The art in general?
Yes, art in
general, but maybe I would like to emphasizes the collection I have based on the
work of Gustav Klimt. I have choose The Kiss because I found a lot of ladies
loves this romantic moment captured by Klimt, with a lot of elegance.
How do you promote your art pieces?
I have
always sold my jewelry at exhibitions, art galleries and artisans fairs. But today I believe I have to promote more on
line.
What do you highlight about your career in
designed jewelry?
I know when
I started but I do not know when I will finish, never. One way or another I will be creating art
pieces in enamel, could be for wearing as jewelry or picture to be hang o both ways as the same time.
But I f I
have to highlight an exhibition from my biography is the participation in the
26th International Competition
of Jewelry, Ueno Royal Museum, Tokyo, Japan , en April of last year.
