Material witchcraft by Tereza Seabra, Catarina Silva and Marta Costa Reis at Four

Artist list

Marta Costa Reis, Tereza Seabra, Catarina Silva

Tereza Seabra’s work invokes the ancient function of jewelry as protector and talisman. Her materials, agates, pearls and 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 takes us into a dreamlike, 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 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 portals to the unknown.
