Bio
Irene Palomar is an artist based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with an extensive training in jewellery techniques. The artist is a regular presence in fairs such JOYA Barcelona, and in international exhibitions. With her work Irene Palomar's aims to create objects that express her feelings and are compatible with the others.Statement
I consider contemporary jewelery very close to sculpture. My interest lies in creating objects to observe or to carry, to express my inner world through them, and communicate well with others. Thanks to these objects I can communicate my emerging feelings, my emotions, my needs of the world in which I live and with whom I interact.New Life Collection 2020
Through my work, I wish to show some of what is done with plastic garbage to prevent the contamination, industrializing the plastic trash. There are many people around the world who recycle plastic garbage and transform this into useful objects for everyday life.
Based on this, I chose to incorporate modules of some objects that are born from the transformation of plastic discards that through recycling and industrialization arise into a new, non-polluting, life: bricks, tables, boards, benches, toys, boxes, endless objects... I chose for my collection: plastic modules of bricks and ecological plastic wood.
New Life Collection 2020 II
In this very particular year, I present the second part of New Life 2020. 8000000 tons of plastics go to the oceans every year, forming huge islands of plastics: plastic garbage and fishing net waste. There are many people around the world who recycle plastic garbage and transform it into useful objects for everyday life. The pieces in this collection have modules of plastic bricks and plastic wood, both made with 99% disposable plastics.
Anthropocene
We are in the Anthropocene era in which man is the agent of modification of the planet. Unfortunately, we can say that he is destroying it. Once again with my pieces I metaphorically highlight the reality of the plastics that arrive and pollute the oceans. The plastic waste that reaches the sea and the fishing nets discarded as lag by the fishing vessels plus the help of currents and winds form great islands in the oceans that by the action of the sun break down the plastic remains into microplastics that alter the marine fauna and arrive, man ... an ecological disaster...
