ABSTRACT JEWELRY

This line of abstract constructivistic jewelry is created by three pieces, H.UM,M.I.S.T, and H..H. These areinspired the the geometrical abstract art.I decided to develop my jewels through this type of art because through them I want to express feelings and ideas that are hard to understand, but that can be exteriorizedthrough art and jewelry. The names of the jewels as themselves contain a message which is understooddiferently by each person and its perception of art, of life, and of ourselves.

My main inspiration for this project were artists such as David Smith, Mondrien and great design currents as it is the Bauhaus. Its influence and the analysis of their art has worked as a great motivator for me.

The process of designing and building these jewels has been for me a way to express and understand my fears, doubts and aspiratios in a different way. These pieces have a purely estetic objectivem but have been made with the intension of comunicating ideas and sensations

This ring is a jewel built with the goal of comunicating the feelings of both, limitation and superation. The message makes a conotation to darkness and to light. It plays with its contrast through dull and brilliant tones.
The process of fabrication began with the drafts and initial drawings of the jewel. Making measurments of the di erent elements and planning the interaction of the materials. The study also focuses on textures and how they in ude in the nal product. The ergonomy and weighth are very important for the comfort of the user. Moreover the basic technique od welding includes silver threats, melted copper and concave aged silver pieces.

This necklace transmits the relation and interaction between the outside world and the inside world. It represents what we save inside us and how much of it we express. Observing constantly our surroundings, and analizing how can we be part of it, preserving our identity.

This jewel was created initially with drawings of the possible designs, the measurments and a deep analysis of the materials to use. The materialization of the concept through the combination of materials and techniques was very important as well. Its fabrication includes the weldin of the thread of silver, spheres of copper and concave aged pieces of silver

The concept of this ring is based principally in the meaning created by the interaction of the angles. This jewel represents the interaction between curves and straight lines as a contrast between silver and bronze. This ring is all about contrasts and what they mean to us.

Its fabrication is based principally in the studies of measurments and textures. The angles are very deeply studied as well so the contrast is strong. The welding technique is basic in the fabrication linkin silver and bronze.

This line is realted with the constructivistic abstract art of the beginnings of the XX century. Beginning from the use of metal and the classical technique of direct welding. Artists such as Picasso, Julio Gonzales, David Smith and Naum Gabo used constantly this technique. They related with the welding but rejected the melting of them because they felt they were ruining their possible virtudes. For these artists the metal is nos a neutral material but it is a responsible material of transmiting a message and a sensation.
