IMAGINING PARADISE
IMAGINING PARADISE is a collection of paintings and art jewellery that springs from an abundant imaginary garden in my mind. It is designed to celebrate human elegance with an edge of joyful eccentricity.
The pomegranate serves as its central symbol, weaving a crimson thread through the ancient tradition of gardening to Greek mythology, through stories of motherhood and harvest, abundant life and love, but also tales of blood, disintegration and death. Born from fire, the enamels I choose to work with add a sense of spontaneity and a magical whisper of the language of alchemy.
Every jewellery piece is uniquely hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind. Combined with precious metals, pearls and unusual gemstones, these botanical treasures look as if they have been gathered on a dream-like journey to that internal imaginary garden.
My paintings are windows into imaginary dream spheres, dramatising the tangled growth, the joyful and sometimes violent pushing towards light, and the spilling flowers and fruit of the primordial garden.
