Rinaldo Alvarez: Recovered beauty, wet cookies

Artist list

Rinaldo Álvarez

Jewellery is the way in which I understand how I relate myself to the world.
Sometimes I feel I could make lots of pieces out of the same one, just making combinations of the elements in very different ways, making them to have very different conversations among them, but I finally choose one combination of the elements, I choose just one conversation.
That conversation I hear, makes me feel for a moment that everything fits perfectly in the world.
I love to create the metal frameworks which melt with the elements, the shapes, the images, to relate to each other in such a way that the dialogue that emerges among them is an intimate conversation about recovered beauty.
Jewell as Art allows me into those minimum spaces, in its observation, to recover the slowliness and the calm for the detail exploration. To truly watch oneself and discover things that remains, may be just by laziness, not revealed.
We pass indifferently, in a hurry, over the beauty and its speech, underestimating it, even when we are aware of its presence; we run over it as a stampede.
Because of that, I find in this “minimum universes” a place to recover those pieces we leave spread out behind us, and to build up or re-compose new objects which become timeless talismans of inner beauty.
Its importance, its power, grows when we now that apart from observing them, we can make them part of us, wear them, enriching their language and message, contributing to a new relationship with us, the viewer, and the world.
