Créations contemporaines

Reading the materials...

His gaze takes us beyond matter, his refined imagination reveals the precious unsuspected. His affection and respect for the assemblages take our intimate gaze towards the representation of an emotion. Surprises close to the plot, her jewelry and objects are a poetic and mysterious language. They talk about travels, experiences, encounters, judicious and unexpected fusions. Metal, mother-of-pearl, ebony, seeds, horns, pearls, shells... Isabelle Fustinoni plays the materials with virtuosity throughout a creative and singular score. Precision and technique imprint the accent of modernity and timelessness.

 

Learn new techniques and new expressions of jewelry and object, related to ethnic, religious, industrial... so many questioning that seem essential to him for an inventiveness that provokes surprise and curiosity. Explorer of art and alchemist of transformation, it is the spirit always open and willingly surprised that her achievements draw their form and strength.
 
Decorative and used objects, adornments and other jewelry, for Isabelle the definition of creation is not in use or utility but in the deep sense and rarity that is given to each object. The precisely thought-out creation of a piece must offer the observer a perfect harmony between material, know-how, unexpected and questioning: the alembic of ideas in search of the absolute.

The discovery of his work takes you, according to cultures, from the beauty of the unexpected, a deep aesthetic at the crossroads of all matter.
