Wrinkled, folded, dyed, or sewn, paper stimulates our curiosity and facilitates our own inspiration. Although simple, flat, and affordable, it is magnified, enhanced, and transformed with the abundance and moderation of those who manipulate it. There are other materials that, sometimes, are confused with paper and this exhibition gives them an opportunity. It is intended to go beyond the language of the paper. This exhibition is not about the paper jewellery itself, but about something that suggests it, regardless of the material and technique used.

Following the experience acquired, as a curator, with Beyond Textile, jewelry made by twenty-one Argentine jewelry designers (presented in 5 European cities and one in Argentina), More than clogs and tulips ..., Dialogues from Holland (both) jewelry made by twenty Dutch jewelry designers (presented in 3 European cities), RED - BLACK, jewels, jewelery made by twenty-one Argentine jewelry designers (presented in 6 European cities), now I have curated and present The strength of the textile, jewelry and Eloquence of the paper, jewelry, each one with 24 designers of contemporary jewels of international renown.

It's a travelling exhibition that can be visited (for now) in Neuchâtel (Switzerland), Madrid, Barcelona (Spain), Enschede (the Netherlands) and Porto (Portugal).
