EXPO ‘Cromatica’ – Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago (Chile) – 8 Sept.-25 Oct. 2012

CROMÁTICA

During September and part of Octuber, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Santiagode Chile, will be showing Expo Cromática, from Joya Brava Association. 

Cromatica, puts together a selection of contemporary jewellery inspired in color, as a starting point. Jewellers are challenged to think about the language of a single colour. As a result, this exhibition shows a composition of fourty pieces, that talk in a variety of voices, presenting ideas, thoughts, and critical views.
For this exhibition, each artist was given a specifical colour, that would be the starting piont for the pieces.

For this task I decided to continue with my research on picoroco shells and intervene one with the colour I was given, combined with oranje coloured resin and pearls. By means of these simple interventions that highlight the particularieties of the volume, the shell appears as a new object, detached from it's original nature. This is the result:
