This collection was born from a study on a technique created by the artist Antoni Gaudì.
The technique takes the name of "Trencadìs", (in Catalan trencat which means broken, fragmented) fragments of ceramic are used placed next to each other as in a mosaic but with the difference that they are placed randomly between them.
Fascinated by the works of the artist Gaudì, I created this line of jewelry.
The creative process is quite long and complex, it begins with the painting of the majolica, which I fragment into small and large irregular pieces, then recompose them randomly on a white or colored base.
In this process I also added the Japanese "Kintsugi" technique in which a gold-colored powder is used to recompose the broken fragments.
This collection has a strong meaning, every piece symbolizes each of us,
unique and precious, but which when combined with other pieces becomes a work of art.
Everything can be "repaired" you just need the right key and the touch of an artist who will be able to create a new life.
