I try to create a close correlation between jeweler, jewel and wearer. That is the reason why some of my jewelry pieces are designed to "suffer" like a second creative stage. In fact, they carry a gesture not only activated by the jeweler, but also able to be recreated and reconfigurated by the carrier during its use.If there is a starting point in my research, more or less known, I do not know where will be the end point of the part being, whether it be a jewelry, a performance or an object. Thus I propose objects emerging from a knot not only conceptual but also personal, where different forms and responses changes during experiments and test.The materials chosen are cardinal in my artistic approach specially by their symbolic meanings and their loads. It is even possible that a material I needed suggests or directs me to the subject itself. That's why I try to decontextualize each material its specific task.Needless to say, that the body is an essential element in my work, actually is itself a material .
