« Alba Olivella presenta su proyecto final para la escuela Arsenal: Reykjavik.

Ingrid Ventura

 1999 Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts (Barcelona) – 2007 Design jewellery at the Escola d’Art del Treball.
She took part in a number of solo and collective exhibitions, the latest at the Museu del Càntir (Argentona, Spain).
Volume, body, overwhelmingness, expressiveness, heaviness, power… all these concepts are closely related to sculpture and transferred to jewellery. Ventura approaches the jewel as if it were a sculpture through combining iron with a precious metal. Iron stays inside silver and comes to the surface through roughness and rust. Then rust starts merging into the softness and brightness of silver.

Volumen, cuerpo, contundencia, expresividad, peso, fuerza… conceptos relacionados estrechamente con la escultura y traspasados a la joya. Ventura trabaja la pieza como si fuera una escultura mediante la combinación del hierro y el metal noble. El hierro está dentro de la plata y se manifiesta sobre ella a través de la rugosidad i el color del óxido que se va fusionando hasta dar paso a la suavidad i el brillo de la plata.

Sirk is the result of squeezing emotions, new and old pieces of knowledge, playing with materials and taking risks from an alternative point of view. Her work is inspired in the change that Cirque du Soleil introduced in the traditional patterns of circus: physically different but at the same time, aiming to fascinate the audience. Her pieces are big but also light and flexible, physically and visually, that create a space full of subtle movements, surrounded by light and colour. »
