L'art pour l'art – the art for the art's sake
Golden section, geometry, colour, composition – traditional harmonious terms with which visual artists are dealing in their works, I pick up and question it at the same time. I put together relics from artproduction in my new jewelery collection. I use acrylic paint which was forgotten by the painter and dried over a long time on paper plates. It grew up into a threedimensional object. By cementation, filling, sawing and filing I bring together the former content of the paint tube into solid forms – „drops“ out of reconstructed stones „fall off“ the pieces. I discover the nuances and layers of the acrylic paint also in the lustre of the mother of pearl. Artificial materials are opposed to natural materials. The additional material enamel is put with a brush on copper – like a painter brings colour to canvas.

L'art pour l'art – making jewelry for it's own sake!
