I was born in Lisbon and studied jewellery at Ar.Co (Centro de arte e comunicação visual) between 2000 and 2005. I have worked at Galeria Reverso and since 2013 in Galeria Tereza Seabra. Currently I am a teacher as well as the head of the Jewellery Department in the school where I graduated.
Statement
Referring to a primitive origin when questioning the relevance and present function of the amulet or protective talisman, I conceived pieces with a surrealistic and neo-pop assemblage that results in the intertwine between ornamental forms that allude the naturalistic in counterpoint with apparently mechanical and artificial elements. Like a meditative chant, I choose to work with beads for its ritualistic and contemplative character that is in the making. The premise of constructing portable, usable Jewellery associated with the expressive and inventive qualities of drawing and collage enabled contrast between volume and lightness, thus ensuring an ethereal sensation and abstract perception of these pieces. I intend to demonstrate the significance of Jewellery as a discipline with an enriching artistic practice decisive in the definition and construction of culture in contemporary existence.CV
