Latest WorksIn the last years, my work has been evolving around the use of colorful resin stones. Infusing resin with pigments of color I created stones in colors from my memories, setting them in pieces which recreate, with a certain cartoonish playfulness, antique jewelry from which they were inspired. That was the beginning of the work I have been doing these last few years. I now mix pigments, mica, glitter and metal dust in abstract explosions of colors that I create without a recipe and little planning. The outcome of the resin blocks, its colors and swirls, lead me to the shapes I cut. I then sand, polish and rivet these resin stones into big organic brass shapes. The brass pieces continue to be inspired by ancient jewelry, but in more abstract ways and in a deeper exploration of shapes. I now draw into the metal trying to convey the freedom of a fast sketch. Playing with the weightlessness of the resin and the substantial presence of the brass, I try to infuse each piece with the joyful and carefree unrestrain I feel while making them.
