Empar's work is a spatial experience - an intimate architecture that exists in the tension between the stone and lightness, between the body and the space created by the void.

Bio
After finishing her Master in Architecture, in which she gathered experience within Spain, Germany and China, Empar experienced a necessity for crafts and expressive freedom in her life. She decided to drive her career into a more creative and handcrafted direction, so she started to study Design in Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, where she had in July 2019 her Bachelor’s Degree from.She discovered stonework during her exchange semester in Idar-Oberstein, Germany, and she got totally fascinated about this material. What she most loves about carving stone is the power of transforming such a resistant and heavy material into delicate and lightweight jewellery.
Statement
Stone is meticulously shaped to evoke architectural forms—minimalist yet complex. They inhabit a dimension that both embraces and transcends the body.She patiently selects and opens raw stones, to find one that has enough size, uniformity, absence of veins, inclusions, or fractures, suitable for a three-dimensional work. Taking great risks, she cuts each stone with precise accuracy, followed by a meditative carving process where her deep understanding of geometry guides her hands into fluid movements. Through this careful craftsmanship, she pushes the material boundaries of stone, transforming it into ethereal, almost immaterial jewelry pieces.
