Colombian born and raised, I am currently living in Idar Oberstein.

 

It was in 2011 when I started learning goldsmith techniques in a private jewelry studio under the guidance of Laura Oviedo in Bogotá to communicate through jewelry as an artistic expression. My desire to explore jewelry in a deeper context led me to pursue a master’s study in Gemstone and Jewelry Design in Germany founded by a DAAD scholarship and graduating in March 2018. In 2022 I was awarded a Red Dot Award for the Lippy Chains design, a tongue-in-cheek reinterpretation of a traditional piece of jewelry. I have designed collections of jewelry for different companies, as well as for my own brand, which inspires and connects women to their life force.

 

Jewelry has revolutionised my life, because as I acquire more experience in making, I have discovered that it is much more than my voice. It is a mirror that strips my soul and shows me, through time, reflections from the depths of my being, that otherwise I could not make conscious nor would I be able to describe with words. This has turned into an active conversation, which has led me to redefine my identity by questioning and then embracing what I had considered my feminine perspective.
