Nevin lives and works in Brussels. “I create abstract artworks based on aerial photographs from which I draw inspiration. On a metal base – silver, gold or aluminium, I work with resin and pigments, sometimes including semi-precious stones. I try to explore the essential, trying to find the hidden beauties, the simple and pure shapes, peace, silence, far away from the agitation and aggressiveness of everyday life. Capturing the glittering sparkles of a stone, delighting in the subtleties found in colours, I seek to create in all carefreeness before reason consumes inspiration.” Nevin Arig
Isabelle lives and works in Brussels. By applying the technique of micro-mosaic, she creates jewellery mainly in the form of brooches and necklaces. The artist’s chromatic palette is broad, subtle and is reminiscent of one or another painting, one or another abstract landscape, evoking the memory of a hidden emotion.
Kate Wood, who seems to come from another world, lives on the other side of the Channel. She invites us on a journey through different artistic trends and eras. The clusters of beads or precious stones she uses are like a painter’s colour chart. She weaves jewellery providing us with that little romantic touch that we are all secretly sensitive to.
Jacqueline Lecarme is a bit of an outsider in her field. With a background in drawing and painting, she flirts with fashion and in particular its accessories, sources of inspiration as much as raw materials that she assembles according to her imagination. From her hands are born sculptural objects to be worn, where humour is the key to her creativity. Tenderness is called for when the eyes discover the shape and fall under the spell.
It’s from Warsaw to Vilnius that the name of Marcin Zaremski is found in contemporary jewellery galleries. His creations are sober and pure. Patinas and technical mastery are the brand names of his gallery.
Lightness and fluidity, this is what Franziska Rappold’s jewellery evokes. The designer lives in south-west Germany. In the technique of electroforming, she has found a sober and minimalist language that makes her creations timeless. As close as possible to the body, small touches of light twirl around.
Loet Gescher who lives and works in Maastricht, transcends the idea of recycled plastic by creating light and colourful jewellery, sometimes still odorous. She explores the material, takes it over and manages to make us forget its primary use. A brooch is placed, a silk thread studded with pellets dances with the movement, the necklace is worn without weight, with great elegance.
