Butterfly Wings
Ania Guillaume Butterfly wings, 2018 Titanium earrings 5.8 (H) x 2 cm Unique Ref. E6 Butterfly Wings is an exemplary series of Guillaume’s examination of elements of the natural environment, translated into wearable art. In sculpture as much as in wearable art, there is a strong perception of the spiritual natural universe. Flowers or animals are designed within the shape of the jewel and, once worn, they create an intricate dialogue between the wearer and nature. Known for their fragility, the delicate attributes of butterfly wings are juxtaposed in its materiality. Casted from delicate carvings into thin wax, the titanium wearable pieces of earrings and necklaces still play with our perception to materiality, as the incredibly lightweight jewellery pieces gleam in their chromatic spectrums. Feminine and beautiful, these reflections of elements of nature become an elegant statement piece to our everyday fashion.

David Rodríguez Caballero 4 Diciembre 2.015, 2015 18kt rose gold earrings 5.4 x 1.3 x 1.4 cm; 50.8 grams unique and signed David Rodríguez Caballero is renowned for his geometrically reduced forms, which have been translated into a new formal vocabulary linked to Minimalism. The themes explored in his wearable art, like his sculptures, recall the Constructivism which has been subject to a sense of lyricism and softness that originates from painting. Geometric abstraction is one of the most important paths of modern painting and sculpture – it is also significant to contemporary music with its streaked structures and colourful overtones. In his wearable art, David Rodriguez Caballero brings his aesthetic obsessions to the third dimension, exploring materials, and the relationship between meaning and object, support and form, dream and paranoia. Caballero manipulates light through his bending and folding of material.
