STATMENT
I have been a goldsmith for over twenty-five years in Modena,
Italy. Since I was a young man, I’ve been interested
and attracted to metals and it’s infinite capabilities,
especially it’s overlapping, oxidation, and sequences
of layers. With my work, I try to transfer every day emotions
into contemporary jewelry and unique pieces in a simple, informal
and spontaneous way. This permits me to develop new situations
and the art appreciators to develop feelings from these situations.
My goal is to move from the concept of simple jewelry, to
a larger concept of sculpture and art piece.
I utilize antique and unique goldsmith techniques, such as
NIELLO and GRANULATION, personalizing them in order to distinguish
my work from others. I work with precious metals combining
them with other metals such as iron, copper and brass. My
jewelry is usually finished by material textured, which hides
to the naked eye the precious metals. As a painter uses his
canvas to express his or her feelings, I use my jewelry as
base for expressing mine.
