Artist Statement
We work with the essence of the primitive, the ancestral, the immanence of objects. Our search is through implicit balances, subtle yet with strong contrasts; cherishing beautiful human accomplishments while working with colored aromas from the earth. Our pieces are unique, with high visual and esthetic impact, falling within the boundaries of art, jewelry and fashion; they are amulets, delicate objects, bringing stories within themselves; pieces with soul. These qualities are expressed in the selected materials, the colors and stains, used in the transformation, combination and construction. We always use noble and local materials such as silk, wool, alpaca wool, chaguar, semi precious stones, metals, woods and Argentinean leathers. We chose them for its visual pleasure, textures and colors… They are ornaments, amulets, objects of desire.
