Story Behind the Art:

'When I was a teenager, my dream was to be a tattoo artist. Stimulated by my ability to draw, I decided to study visual communication as a career and I ended up as a jeweler. My purpose as jeweler was to treat a part of the body as a jewel, the beginning of the concept of tattoos in yellow gold. I began to use nylon threads and silicone to give lightness to my pieces. As the price of gold got higher, I felt the need to create designs in a more accessible material and this was when I discovered silver. My first piece was a rose pendant that can be used both front and back. Some pieces bear stones, others color, but all follow the principle of appearing as a tattoo, an idea that I took the care to patent and register. I feel that recognition for my work is growing, and I believe the conquest of a wider global market is an important step in my career. At the end of 2003, I was invited to participate in an exhibition on design trends in jewelry at Liberty in London, and was selected from among designers at a fashion event in Rio de Janeiro.'
