Artist Statement:
THROUGH FORMS AND MATERIALS - WITHOUT PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS - RIGOUR, TRANSPARENCY AND LIGHTNESS EMERGE FROM MY HANDS AND BECOME COHERENCE. COLLEAGUES, COMPETITIONS AND EXHIBITIONS VERIFY MY POSITION IN A CREATIVE AND STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT, WHICH I SHARE WITH MY STUDENTS, COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS. IT IS WITH PLEASURE THAT I EXPLORE NEW MATERIALS AND DEVELOP INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES. ALTHOUGH SUBTLE, THE VISUAL ASPECT AND THE TOUCH ARE VERY IMPORTANT. BEYOND THE FIRST IMPRESSION OF SEVERITY MY JEWELLERY IS FULL OF RADIANCE AND TRANSPARENCY.
