Montserrat Lacomba is a Spanish based artist, with a Bachelor Degree of Fine Arts Degree by the University of Barcelona and several jewellery courses from Massana School. The artist is inspired by the landscape and how it has been interpreted in different cultural and artistic disciplines and through her jewellery expresses the sensations given by this experience.

Statement

My work is mainly based on observation of the landscape and how it has been interpreted in different cultural and artistic disciplines. Nature and ancient constructions, as well as the writing of ancient civilizations are starting points that open paths I like to follow, even though I never know exactly where they will take me.
I try to transmit in a jewel the emotion that a mountain gives me, or a river or poem that speaks about the beauty of a particular place. I love the landscapes around me which always surprise with new colors and new shapes. Often they are my inspiration, inviting me to create.

Within the Wave series
The Mediterranean is a sea full of history but also hides joy and sadness. This is our sea; I will never tire of watching it and loving it. Using an increasing rhythm to evoke different lived sensations, I scattered all these enamel colors, just as waves do, onto seven copper plates of various sizes. The resulting images are oval shaped brooches where nothing disturbs the intriguing look.
