How do objects change the life of people? How much do they carry in their sometimes humble form? The most intimate of them, jewellery, clinging to our bodies, creates ripples of meaning.
Artist list
Marta Costa Reis, Tereza Seabra, Catarina Silva
The works of the three artists Tereza Seabra, Catarina Silva and Marta Costa Reis from Lisbon in Potugal, converge in a shared territory where jewellery becomes more than adornment, it becomes a ritual object, a spell, a fragment of the invisible. They meet here as alchemists of form, weaving together memory, desire, and transformation.
At the root is Tereza Seabra, whose work invokes the ancient function of jewelry as protector and talisman. Her materials agates, pearls, metals, are carriers of energy, chosen not only for their beauty but for their symbolic potency. In her hands, jewelry becomes a repository of belief, a gesture toward the sacred.
Catarina Silva, restless and playful, takes this lineage into a dreamlike and surreal dimension. Her pieces often assemble unexpected materials into amulets that hover between the archaic and the contemporary. Love tokens, glass beads, and everyday symbols are recomposed into objects that recall the rhythms of ancient chants, the repetitions of spells, and the intimacy of secret offerings.
Marta Costa Reis moves between reflection and creation, attentive to the signs and codes that have guided human meaning across time. Her work meditates on the fading of symbols, on what is remembered and what is forgotten, transforming jewelry into an act of divination, an attempt to glimpse beyond the visible, to touch the mystery that lies hidden.
Together, these three artists reveal jewelry as a field of enchantment, objects that bind us to others, that carry the aura of protection, that whisper of love and loss, and that open small portals to the unknown.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 6th, 17.00 – 19.00
The exhibition runs until the 26th of February 2026.
Gallery opening hours: Mo-Fr 11.00 - 18.00, Sa 11.00 - 15.00
