« SCENES OF THE MIND »

« My work is a means of expression, articulating ideas, transforming thoughts and emotions, shaping my psyche into jewelry.

This creative journey provides me with peace of mind and helps me improve myself. Pursuing and discovering new paths, experimenting with different colors and materials, is part of a process for bringing to life pieces that hold a special meaning to me as an artist and to the wearer.

My new project is about inner “Transformation”; transformation of the soul.

I created a jewelry collection that symbolises the transformation of positive and

negative thoughts that we are having during the day.

The continuous stream of thoughts, via meditation, gradually fades away, providing serenity and tranquility to the mind and soul. Through silence and observation of my thoughts, there comes an understanding, a need for change and self-improvement. »

Stefania Sioufa - « Thoughts » brooch – paper, silver, aluminium foil, broken mirrors, water colors

« via meditation, slowly, all the bad (thoughts) are buried deep inside (the broken mirrors pieces that are INSIDE the brooch) and peace and beauty and serenity comes out, with nice and soft colors, with a smooth structure, done with smooth materials (paper), that looks like a flower in bud, a blossoming flower , a future beauty …. »

Stefania Sioufa - « Scene of the Mind » Brooch – Silver, pigments, cement, brass sheets, resin, sand, plaster

Stefania Sioufa. Greece,  Brooch: Silver, pigments, cement, brass sheets, resin, sand, plaster, mixed media.

“Transformation” means the inner change, the work I do with myself and my soul. It is the best version of me, coming from the « dialogue with myself ». Through silence, meditation and observation of my thoughts, comes the understanding and my need for change and internal transformation. It means the transition from negative to positive status, my self-improvement, the change of course, the opening of new roads. »

seems that this brooch has not reached yet a status of « peacefulness » ……..

Zhou Yiyan Piece: Set Of Jewelry, 2016 Porcelain with matte and glossy gold paint Photo by: Martin Konrad
Set of Jewelry it’s a composition of objects in porcelain displayed on a porcelain tray.

Zhou YiyanComing from the province of Anhui in the east of China, Zhou Yiyan studied art and design at the Shanghai Normal University, and then worked as a graphic designer for four years before settling in Paris in 2007 to pursue her artistic studies in photography and fashion design at Berçot Studio.
She subsequently developed a collection of art objects in porcelain that are inspired by her fascination for circles in Chinese culture, and that are worn as jewellery. Each item is unique and created by the artist in a contemporary ceramics studio. Featuring glossy or matt enamel, gilded or left untreated, each piece requires a long period of design work and perfect technical mastery in order to adapt the artisanal processes of ceramics to suit the desired form.
In 2016, Zhou Yiyan was among the 5 winners of the Young Creative Craftsworkers Award, which has been run by the Ateliers d’Art de France since 1960 with a view to revealing new faces from the vanguard of crafts in France.
Also, last year, in spring, Yiyan was noticed by Esther de Beaucé who selected a dozen pieces for Yiyan ‘s solo exhibition :“Circles”, which was held at Esther’s MiniMasterpiece Gallery. The gallery also showed Yiyan’s work at PAD PARIS ART+DESIGN, and ART ÉLYSÉES Art & Design, along with pieces by contemporary artists and designers.
In these porcelain circles, inspired by the traditional circles of Chinese culture and embroidery rings, Yiyan metaphorically retranscribes the complexity of human society, of the ties between people which build into circles (family, friends…) She primarily reveals the joy that she experiences when she spends a full day in the company of the “soft and modest clay” which she discovered at the Manufacture de Sèvres.
Yiyan exhibits her works in international Fine Craft & Creation Biennial taking place in Grand Palais, Paris.
 Zhou Yiyan interviewed by Klimt02

« The shapes in my work are universal due to my inspiration in the nature and old cultures, the way I use these shapes in my object and the material I use are makes it singular. »

EXCHANGE-BIJOU 2 – Yafit Ben Meshulam – « Appear & disappear »

Yafit Ben Meshulam / Lacuna

Lacuna is a space between elements
A quiet elongation between one musical note to the next
A gap in the text that leaves room for imagination
The cocoon left behind when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. . .
My name is Yafit Ben Meshulam. I’m a jewelry designer, maker and metal smith working and living in Tel Aviv, Israel. I earned a B.DES degree in jewelry design from the distinguished Shenkar College of engineering and design in Tel Aviv.
Thanks for letting me share my passion with you and welcome to my shop

« Through jewellery I can express myself in countless colours, textures and materials. Jewellery can be flexible, fragile, light, heavy, shiny, matte, and…well, the list could go on forever! »

« In her latest collection - « Appear & Disappear » – she has focused on organic and abstract shapes, adding an industrial twist to them by combining 3D printing techniques with metals, resin or embroidered elements. Some pieces such as the necklaces are larger; others such as her multiple brooches or earrings are smaller and can be employed to subtly and stylishly decorate the body. » (interview on Irenebrination blog)

Not only  her jewellery is delicious, as well as strong, but the pictures support that sensation so well !

Artist Statement
The extraordinary power of objects is obtained, because people believe in them. The more mundane the objects are, the more powerful they become. 
My practice contextualizes the primitive energy that is submerged beneath the layers of garments. When the body is removed, the absence becomes an empty structure. The internal structure is evidence of human existence. It remains full of authentic spirit and fantasy. 
Through the processes of deconstructing and reconstructing materials into symbolic forms, I uncover the hidden intimate and sensual power of humanity. It is a moment when ordinary objects become surreal and uncanny in order to redeem the socially constructed expectations and perceptions.
