INTERVIEW WITH THE ARTIST - More about her work .
When and how did you begin in the contemporary jewelry?
Contemporary Jewelry, Creative
jewelry or whatever we want to
call it, it makes you completely free
in terms of materials, techniques,
everything has a place and everything is valid to express
yourself. I worked long time in classical Jewelry
making of all kinds of orders, and
even helped me to master the techniques, ultimately the need to
express with freedom and to enjoy the pleasure of creating without conditions
of any type was what
prevailed.
What is your motivation?
Who can explain the creative impulse, only you
are confident that you have
it, you have the certainty that whatever
happens you will continue doing it, to be sure of this fact is so
important.
Which ones are
your sources of inspiration?
Without doubt I tend to the abstraction of forms, I am fascinated by natural
forms or even industrial ones with its symmetries, orders and disorders, and from
the amazement of observing them I go the
action. As for materials I have no prejudice.
How do you
define your work?
My work is
the result of a continued amazement for the forms, natural forms in continuous movement,
with its exuberance and waste of creativity and industrial forms, static or in feigned movement.
I propose a
jewelry with a strong sculptural character, where the object loses its purpose
and shows only its aesthetic dimension. My work is, in this way, an attempt to
cult the object, the object for the object, not a symbol only an object without
ethics, without any purpose or use, a liturgy of the form. I pretend, as many
other creators, the abstraction of forms in order to free them from their daily
lives. Behind the veil of the habit many forms surround us, when we retrieve
the forgotten surprise of contemplating them is when the temptation to create
becomes irresistible and inevitable.
Is that
astonishment for the forms, its symmetries and its disorders which starts my
creative process.
What
actions you make to publicize your work?
This is the complicated work, because
to be able to continue working a minimal profitability is precise,and, however
there is a real demand of this kind of work and, in consequence, there is a
market, the framework for the
distribution it isn´t enough and self-management seems to be the only option. I
take profit of all the possible opportunities like web, social networks, online
galleries, or events such as Joyas Arte Madrid, which are a good opportunity to
show the work directly but it would be necessary to open the market in a more
effective way.
What do you
stand out from your career as a contemporary jeweler?
