Claudio Quindere
"I was always interested in three-dimensional art such as sculptures, and I recognized this possibility in jewelry. Jewelry is a utilitarian art that offers a form of working manually and creating an object of great added value. <br><br>
"I took an intensive course on working with gold in Carlos Casnatti's studio in Sao Paulo. Whenever somebody seeks me for learning this art, I am open to teaching, even though it's been a while now since I learned. <br><br>
"I work basically with silver, but I try to use available materials in my area, such as buriti palm fibers and lace. I also use stones that were broken in the handling to make jewelry with the inlay technique. <br><br>
"Transforming metal into jewelry is fascinating. When I sit down at my work bench, I disconnect from the world. That is fascination. That is passion." <br><br>
It is with pleasure and pride that Claudio helps to promote his native northeastern area with regional designs as well as from his state, Ceara. <br><br>
"I'm proud of having started from zero, without family in the area, and to have been able to continue with this art for more than 20 years."
