As my hibernation period is slowly coming to an end, I can feel it and notice it as well, having a bit more light each day, and more energy to go with that.
I wanted to share a little about one of the first artists who joined Contemporanea, Iraia Aizcorbe Iraia Aizcorbe based in Madrid. Her Author's Jewellery has a distinctive way of constructing, crafting and visualising.
I met Iraia in 2023, when I visited her at Lalabeyou Escuela de Joyerรญa Contemporรกnea Madrid an amazing studio and gallery in Madrid, where I found out she was also a teacher. I'd been following her work for a while before that. Meeting her in person confirmed what I already sensed: her work is magnetic, and she is deeply committed to her own practice.
Iraia's jewellery is rooted in geometry and opposites. Straight lines and curves. Simplicity and forcefulness. Her approach is architectural: minimal, angular pieces that carry real presence and strength. She believes existence is grounded in the balance of opposites, and that is exactly what her work holds.
If you are wanting to experiment this kind of strength and presence, rooting yourself in that real sense of who you are, then her work is meant for you.โจ๏ธ
You can explore her collection on the website.
If you are interested in seeing and trying some of her pieces, my next in-person Pop Up shop will be at the end of September in central Wellington, Aotearoa NZ. (more info coming soon!)
Big hug,
Dani.
