...From the point to the line, from the line to the form, I like to explore between the surfaces searching for textures, folds, colors and secrets. All the pieces I make are the result of constant experimentation with the material and its possibilities.
With my work, I´m in a constant search towards for more sustainable processes.
I use Fairmined silver and gold since 2018 and other ethical sourced metals and traceble gemstones. I promote initiatives on responsible jewellery through https://origengoldforfuture.org/

I was born in Colombia and currently I live in Barcelona, a city that is the setting for my work as a jeweller.
My training in industrial design in Bogotá and in artistic jewellery in Barcelona allowed me to develop a language of my own: a jewellery that balances the technical with the intuitive, the poetic with the functional.
My pieces have clean, subtle and timeless shapes. Some are inspired by geometry, repetition, sculpture and others are the result of a more intimate search among metaphors such as the passage of time, deterioration, warp.
I am excited to see how ideas begin to emerge when you manipulate the material, how thought, hand and tool are linked.
A jewel is an object with a special magic, it connects emotions, it generates attachments and at the same time it communicates a lot about who wears it
