The titanium collection is the the new generation of my work, a vital and creative experience.
I have broken new ground working with titanium that transcends the traditional craft and applications I had learned in my earlier years. After three years of success in creating titanium jewelry, I am continuing a coherent path in authenticity and experimentation,
The character and the concept of my art work is based on my intuition for singular designs.
My vision for the collection is to exhibit poetic, yet contemporary jewelry in art, design, craftsmanship and fashion.
The rationale for using TI= titanium is the specific identity of the metal and belongs to a new era with a dynamic quality. It is strong as steel but 45% lighter; hypoallergenic and 100% resistant to corrosion. Anodized titanium brings out brilliant colors on the metal surface. TI as a medium supports environmental ethics regarding mining and refinery. Art jewelry made with titanium can help the wearer and-or the maker to engage in a environmental activism without compromising quality or craftsmanship.
This exotic metal with it's unique characteristics and properties, is especially challenging to work with and has very different fabrication techniques from the traditional metals. Titanium has had a tremendous success on industrial technology and modern ingenuity.
On the contrary, with art studios, only few dare to play/craft with titanium and expose the exotic metal to the trade. So, as there is much to learn, the journey continues with gratification and infinite designing possibilities.
