I am a Portuguese jewellery designer and maker, with a focus in contemporary art. I believe our bodies can transmit everything we are as individuals: our health, tastes, emotions, energies. Jewellery is a representation between the organic body of each being with the raw material, which is why contrasting compositions attract me in terms of aesthetic.
My work is based on reflections and concepts, highlighting an interaction or relationship between the user and the jewel. Through games, stories, riddles, mechanisms, and articulations, I love exploring the interactive side of an object. I am interested in the use of different materials, textures, finishes, as well as the combination of delicate with raw elements through traditional and modern techniques, high-tech with low-tech.
Specially interested in bespoke jewellery due to the personal connection that can be created with a person, which is driven by my personal interest in human analyses and identity. Also, exploring storytelling, holistic, energetical, unknown, and psychology-based topics, lead me into the creation of conceptual jewellery.
Art curation and collaborations with different artistic areas drive me to explore and experiment different environments and mindsets, which fulfil me creatively and personally.
