Giorgio Cattano Lost Pieces The base pieces are small rectangles with no particular interest. Their value arises only when combined together. I like irregular and asymmetric forms because those are how nature is.
The pieces are made of silver but the welding is made with gold.
The meaning is the relationships between things, often more important than the things themselves. | | | | | TEMPTING
DEISA My brother asked me to make a ring for his girlfriend. I renounced to find something that both would like (they are too different) and I decided to make an ode to love.
The ring is not close, meaning that a relation never goes back to the start, but keep on evolving.
You need a lot of enthusiasm to start (a small ruby) and bare in mind a great goal (the diamond) to go on with determination. The diamond is loose inside the structure, to underline that love needs space and freedom to survive. |  | | | | DIFFERENT This is a very simple chain of silver circles, with one exception: a square (of gold).
Many times we perceive a exception like this it’s a mistake, and we don’t realize that exactly the exception is often a precious thing. I made different versions of this chain: with a gold square, with a small stone trapped inside. |  |
BIOGRAPHY |  | 
 Giorgio Cattano
http://www.g10design.com/01jewels/Giorgio-page01.htm He was born in Italy the 6th of December in1968 from Dutch mother and Italian father.
He studies architecture and industrial design in Italy.
In 1999 he moved to Holland where he worked as an architect while he approaches to new disciplines, among them jewellery. In 2006 he opens his own studio: G10design
A jewel is an architecture at a very small scale. In architecture, complexity and regulations make the end result: the compromise among various parties. In jewellery you can be the full creator. That is why he wants to design and as well as to build with his own hands his jewels.
Among his recent works we find a collection for gay, in collaboration with the designer Cleto Munari.
At the moment he lives in Seville, Spain. |

Victoria Vásquez IrALaGaleriaDeVictoriaVásquez  Simplemente una manera de expresarme. Soy de condición humana y como tal poseo una vía por la que las respuestas a lo que no se puede preguntar aparecen solas. A ellas doy salida ahora con mi pintura pero también con mis palabras y mis hechos. No me parece una actividad elitista y muchas veces lucho contra eso mediante nuevas propuestas realizadas en mis pinturas. Es mi camino y mis aspiraciones, son mis pasos sobre las nubes, mi intimidad y la intimidad colectiva. El arte es lo que crea la sociedad es estos momentos y lo crea a través de mi paleta como por la de muchos otros, paleta, cincel, buril, hilos, carretes fotográficos……

 Elena Lemeneva
Gems’, wrote Alexander Neckham (1157 - 1217), ‘are commended by the wondrous power of their virtues, their sparkling light, and the elegance of their beauty. I call them the miracles of nature, grateful gifts, a delight, a study and a treasure.” |

Oro, sortijas, piedras preciosas… diamantes, broches, monedas… ¿Cómo era aquel antiguo tesoro? Elena Lemeneva nos explica el valor de las joyas en la Edad Media mientras Patricia, Giorgio, Keri, Paula y Ana nos enseñan sus modernos diseños: nuevos materiales para un mundo nuevo. Patricia GonzÁlez Chinchón La nobleza de la plata es inigualable, pero me gusta mucho trabajar con cobre, principalmente por su color, y este a través del tiempo cambia lo cual le da como vida, ambas joyas son colgantes de plata con aplicaciones de cobre. (foto orfebre 1 y orfebre 2)
Las cadenas tienen para mi mucho valor, ya que cada pieza está hecha una por una, lo cual las hace únicas e irrepetibles, además tienen esa irregularidad que las hace majestuosas, ésta en particular es de plata y de diseño contemporáneo. (foto orfebre 4)
Este anillo es mi preferido porque es uno de los primeros que realicé en forma autodidacta, y está inspirado en los telares mapuches, en ese momento incursionaba en el telar, es de plata con piedras naturales. (foto verano)
En el momento de crear, más que expresar una cosa en particular, uno se inspira en la materialidad de los elementos, y en el fondo uno refleja lo que ellos quieren decir a través de mis manos y basados en mis diseños. | | Orfebre 2 | Verano | | Orfebre 4 BIOGRAFIA | | 
Patricia González Chinchón www.patriciachinchon.blogspot.com www.clasesdemostacillas.blogspot.com Nacida en Santiago de Chile, tengo 39 años, casada y dos hijos. Si bien, mi profesión es Ingeniero, durante todo mi vida he tenido inclinación y habilidad a las manualidades (artes), partí haciendo mis propias joyas en forma autodidacta, luego inicie un taller de orfebrería para principiantes con la profesora Cecilia Escala (destacada profesora de la Universidad de Chile), y a partir del 2006 ingreso a la Escuela Tacto, de la diseñadora Claudia Correa para mi formación formal de orfebrería, sigo estudiando hasta la fecha porque siento que un artista nunca termina de conocer y porque además todas las técnicas se complementan principalmente en la joyería contemporánea. |  |  |
