"I first came close to jewelry was when I was 12 years old, when I took an occasional workshop class. It wasn't until I was 20 that I decided to focus on this art. No one in my family had this passion for jewelry, so you could say it's a natural gift. <br><br>
"For me, jewelry is a utilitarian sculpture. It is a creative process that consists of the abstraction of the forms around me to make them come to life in silver with a style of my own. For me it has become a means of expression and, therefore, a passion that acquires meaning thanks to those magical moments of the person-to-person encounter. <br><br>
"I owe my knowledge to the mentoring of a Belgian teacher who instructed me in the magic of silver. She inspired me even more by her distinctive style. Later I was fortunate to continue training with an Argentine teacher, and with an artisan from Guanajuato who showed me the charm of Mexican silver. <br><br>
?It wasn't until 2014 that I was able to create my workshop. I am still studying techniques, designs and approaches in order to give more authenticity to my technique, which gives me more security in each of my creations. <br><br>
"My main material is sterling silver, obtained through the process of electrolysis from discarded materials in the medical and electronic parts industry. In this way I take a socially responsible approach friendly to the environment. Each piece is crafted by hand with different techniques, but without a mold. This allows me to give my jewelry unique and special details. <br><br>
"Now my goal is to share my designs with more people."
