Bio
Sara Barbanti was born in Modena in 1991. After an Interior Design degree at Politecnico di Milano, in 2013, she moved to Florence to attend a jewellery-making course at Le Arti Orafe Jewellery School. Once finished her studies she returned to Modena where she started to frequent Gigi Mariani’s goldsmith studio and to develop her artistic research.Statement
The research is based on the relation between different materials and on how they can converse and enhance each other. The contrast is essential, organic shapes combined with simple figures, poor materials with precious ones, light with darkness. Creating a suggestion to the observer without using figurative elements provokes a wider range of possibilities and reflections. For this reason, the creative process becomes extremely important, the spontaneity of the form and the composition are fundamental, the imperfection becomes the strength and the fragment infuses a feeling of completeness.The jewel is born from the transformation of wood into coal, the metamorphosis of the material imparts value to the object, telling a story of unleashed shape shifting potential.
