I'm a lover of Renaissance, I am inspired by nature and architecture. Since 2010 the Titanium has become one of my everyday metals along with gold, silver and precious stones. Titanium is a great unknown, hard, tough and resists being manipulated. I work hand techniques always, I had to learn for myself all the secrets it contains. My latest collection, which was inspired by seabeds, wrecks, sea weeds, sea urchins, sea stars, octopus, coral reefs etc., and also how the light falls on them, their reflections and color changes. I was interested in creating jewelry that tells a story. Such as the spirit of people who have lost their lives at sea and still remain in the ocean, the remains of the looted treasures of noble people, commercial trade between civilizations, the slave trade, the Punic Wars and the conquest of America. These pieces are handmade in titanium, silver, gold and steel. I have also used objects found such as; broken tiles, eroded molten glass, plastic melted and mixed with sand.
