I sit in my workshop to give life to singular, living, intimate objects...
For 6 years now, I have been living this passion that drives me: working with metal, giving it a shape, making it tell a subjective story, an intimate journey that belongs only to the viewer and the wearer.
My thirst for creativity of course contributed to experimenting with this practice.
As a diligent self-taught person, I was interested in different jewelry techniques ranging from the forging of small volumes using the “repoussé” method, including engraving/chasing, gilding or the design of complex mechanisms (clasps, joints of parts, riveting, etc.)
Over the years, my practice has allowed me to refine my artistic sense. My creations can be very eclectic and always seek to infuse a sacred, talismanic feeling. A kind of celebration of life through an object worn.
I mainly work with Silver and Brass. I recycle Silver in my Workshop and I make verified use of Silver purchased shaped, wherever possible. The precious or semi/precious stones in my creations are always selected from sources.
Gilding by the Japanese “Keum-boo” method is sometimes mixed with some of my creations. Other materials such as copper, mother-of-pearl, wood and other objects are sometimes incorporated into my projects…
My work is meticulous and applied. I aspire to create some unique object with robust and refined finishes allowing to share a lifetime with its wearer and their descendants. A jewel that will continue to tell a story of time.
Imagine, Draw, Cut, Grind, Engrave, File, Sculpt, Melt, Polish, Crimp, Model, Hammer, Form, Weld, Play!...
To Know different techniques, create your own techniques, understand some physics and understand the elements. And above all, never stop learning... The tools are the collaborators and sometimes they improvise. They are inspiring Friends. The workshop is a place of experiences and challenges. The place for a fantastic adventure…
Here, to work comfortably, everything is within reach. The place is small but my Workshop is extremely functional. It is a place where the Ideas explored are métamorphosent moving from thought to solidity. A magical place where there is a never-end spontaneous birth. ..
