Jane Adam

I have been admiring the work of Jane Adam for quite some time. She has an international reputation for her unique and beautiful jewelry in anodised aluminium, a result of more than 28 years of innovation and experimentation with colour, texture and form. More recently she has also been working with silver, gold, stones and pearls.
Jane uses the nature of the material itself to create form and surface texture by stressing and distorting it.

Clara Ines Arana

Clara Ines Arana was born in Manizales, Colombia.
I really love the way she uses colors and movement in her pieces.


"Throughout my life, and as a metalsmith, I have had the opportunity to be exposed to different cultures, teachers, and techniques. These experiences, as well as long research on the artist production of my people’s culture, have led me to discover a new line of work.
I find myself now working on pieces that show simplicity in their design, where forms, shape, space, and color are represented with more clarity, and where lines and movement give a deep, sculptural feeling to the piece.
I feel that these cultural influences in my work have just begun, and I am ready to keep moving in that direction."
