With a profound interest in narratives and storytelling, María José explores the intricate relationships between daily objects and the human experience. Her work seeks to give prominence and visibility to the often-overlooked elements of our surroundings - those items that may seem insignificant but hold rich, untold stories. By transforming these objects into tangible narratives, she conveys powerful messages through their materiality, inviting viewers to engage with the deeper meanings embedded within.María José's artistic practice centers on understanding how objects' physical traits reflect actions, behaviors, and societal patterns. Through her jewellery, she challenges perceptions and encourages a dialogue about the value of the mundane, urging us to reconsider what we deem important. Her creations serve as a bridge between the ordinary and the extraordinary, revealing the beauty and significance that lies within the overlooked aspects of our lives.
