Among my « BLACK ENVIes » : Maria Rosa Franzin
Une grande dame, des bijoux d’exception …….. Quelqu’un a parlé de « Architecture of light » en parlant de ses bijoux …. oui, c’est exactement ça …
« Thinking about the object, sketching her thoughts and then letting time pass to encourage them to become concrete shapes. My pieces are the result of a close confrontation between thought expression in terms of signs and its actual translation into three- dimensional objects by working flat metal plate.
The pictorial instinct is in the way shapes and in the implementation phase, become graphic signs, a brushstroke, mark, scratch, specks on the “skin” of metal.
Steel wire provides a means for translating these graphic marks like in the neckpiece Hartung.
Pictorial traces are outlined on the surface of the metal, abstract compositions where gold veins emerge from oxidized silver plated or surfaces are marked by tiny traces. »
