The Department of Culture of Padova presents the exhibition of contemporary jewellery by Gigi Mariani curated by Mirella Cisotto Nalon and supported by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo.

The exhibition traces the creative story of Gigi Mariani, a Modenese goldsmith who, during the last decade, has established himself in the research jewelry scene.

Artist list

Gigi Mariani

My work is based on spontaneity and instinct. I try to transfer everyday emotions into my jewellery in an impulsive way. This method allows me to develop works that are unique and sculptural. I endeavor to use the same sort of approach as I do when painting and often treat the surface of the metal as a canvas. This instinctive approach is counteracted by the precise, geometric forms that I use, whereby everything seems to be brought back into place.
/ Gigi Mariani
