Contemporary Jewelry is to me an excellent media such as painting,
drawing or sculpting are. It is an art form.
When I am working I engage in a process. I chose to work with a minimum of tools:
most of my work has been done using my bare hands: molding and painting the pieces.
I create for the body and with my body, so I let traces of my moves appear in the pieces.
