« Jewellery is for me a way of express myself, as paintings can be for a painter and poems for a poet. My jewels are the answers to the questions I ask me; the pieces of different series are fragments of these answers. ‘Blossfeld’ series is an attempt to analyse natural forms to make visible what usually we do not see. ‘Casitecturas’ series deals with spaces and its memory, while ‘Burbujas’ froze past moments. ‘Geometria 1’ series is a poetical mathematic that questions the relation betwen measures and objects » Silvia Walz
