BULGÁRIA

There are elements of narrative, captured in silver and transformed into miniature scenes, telling stories across the surface of an earring, or hanging out as a pendant.. I hope that people will recognize part of their own soul hidden within my pieces of jewellery.

Most of my work has always had a strong illustrative leaning. Designs develop from drawings or stories, well known to all of us since childhood, both observational and imagined, or through a desire to express concepts and ideas about Nature, the great connection between Nature and Man, or some characters from the fairy-tales.

I work basically with silver. Using the plastic quality of this noble metal I create textures and patterns, which layered and soldered together can warm up any human heart, creating playful symbolic figures. The pieces are finished with a mixture of matt, oxidised and polished surfaces to add depth and tone.
