Time seems to stop. I am standing in my workshop, a beautiful space that is full of light whatever the weather outside. My inspiration comes from nature and from my vision of the world outside. Creativity is a balance between the deep need to free creative forces and the pleasure of playing with matter.
It's a dialog between hands and soul. I'm trying to generate emotions through my jewellery. Something slowly emerges that gathers power through time, as the creation process progresses. I connect with raw matter to understand it better, to make it mine and find a common ground with it. The jewel takes on a form, transforms. I journey with it, and then I let it escape so it is born and tamed by the person wearing it. A jewel is an intimate object and discloses an aspect of our personality. We choose to show it or keep it to ourselves like a secret.
