Statement

Art is not a copy of the real world; one of the damn thing is enough.
/Virginia Woolf

There’s a reality to discover, in which everything is possible and looks exactly the opposite of what we know. We’re part of an illusion that we daily contribute to build. We all are liers and we’ve built up a cage of lies that we like to live since we’ve become used to. It seems we feel comfortable in our ignorance and superficiality. We’ve stopped looking for truth and we’ve stopped imaging.  My work is the expression of the need to discover something hidden, going beyond appearance. I want to rise questions about our perception of reality. In order to do so, I grasp the only certainty I have: Science.  Like a scientist, I study the properties of materials to create something never seen before: new bodies, new entities that belong to another possible world. I turn them into delicate jewellery pieces that need to be handled with care and once on the body, you can’t think about something except them. My pieces want to make people change their perspective, rising a much more gentle and sensitive perception of themselves and of the surroundings as a consequence.
