PORTRAIT
 

I experiment by playing with metal and mixing different types of materials. By seeing the contrast between raw matter coming out of the oven, a flower, a seed or a shape made out of wax and the softness that comes from this shape, I find the essence of my work.

My jewels are mysteries that slowly become treasures. Decorative objects that are worn on the body, for the heart. They are asking to be picked up and held. The eyes touch the jewel and follow its shape, a balance between femininity and lightness. Opposites meet - shade and light, empty and full, outside and inside. On one side, ligns are harmonious, soft and full. On the other, a more brutal depth intrigues. Strength is born from frailness.
