Artist list

Ana Albuquerque, Salima Thakker

The resemblance is clear: both artists presented on the 04/10 exhibition work the materials - silver and gold - exploring their characteristics and singularities, like one would when exploring a newly found continent. A close regard allows us to distinguish how they both travel this path in their own manner.

Ana Albuquerque’s past is linked to sculpture. Alert to the particularities of both shape and material, she transposes her pieces to the human body, without which she can’t imagine her jewellery.

Salima Thakker, of Belgium nationality with Indian ascendancy, graduated in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, and post-graduated in the Royal College of Arts of London.
Her work, subjected to such different influences, has developed between a sober formalism and pieces with a clear oriental inspiration. Nonetheless, her creativity erupts in her articulated pieces made from different unitary constructions, where distortions and deformity give the pieces vitality and tension.
