Nicolas is the author of five books on jewellery that have been published by Promopress in several languages and distributed worldwide: New Rings; New Earrings, New Necklaces, and a revised and updated edition of his first book on rings, which was co-published by Thames & Hudson. And most recently, Brooches – 400 Contemporary Jewellery Designs, published this year. Estrada is currently working in New Bracelets, to be published by Promorpess in 2020.
Nicolas lives in Barcelona, the city that allowed him to be who he wanted to be and to do what he wanted to do. He has his own studio, where he shares his craft and experiences with other jewellers who live in or are passing through this wonderful city.
Statement
Jewellery is my genuine way of telling a story: handcrafted jewels, books featuring the best authors of what I call ‘New Luxury’, talks and workshops.The subjects that Nicolas takes inspiration from for his pieces directly address the humanity and sensibility of those who view them. His pieces do not seek to defend or take positions on situations that are undeniably central and significant in his country and his continent. Instead, they are the pure and clear gaze of an artist who seeks, through the tools offered by his artistic work, to provide new perspectives. For Nicolas, each piece of jewellery is imbued with immense power and value. The poetry contained in Nicolas’s work emerges through interpreting his artistic reflections, which are conveyed in an intimate dialogue between the object and the other’s gaze. What Nicolas offers us is an extraordinary and provocative ode to irreverence and reflection that is expressed in the aura of a craft undertaken judiciously and based on profound thought.
