Catalina Gibert | Serra_2014 Necklace
Catalina has become a friend. A dear friend (well, I hope !). I love her work. But more than her work, I admire here tenacity, and what she makes evolving her project, her first idea of jewelry …. Onec upon a time, there was (there is) MEDITERRANEAN.The colors, the smells …. the sea, the nature ….well, the « nature » : you will not see « little flowers » in Catalina Gibert Jewelry. It began with lemons, yes, but more than a lemon, ONE lemon, what was important was the SERIE of lemons, their color, at 1st sight, but their form(s), their « granulation » , their texture : having in front of you ONE lemon you could thought « OK, it’s a lemon … (what else ?) » … but was important to see, to touch ALL of them, together …. This beginning could have been « dangerous », after the lemons, the flowers ? the branches ? the trees ? ….
NO ! she continued with COLORS of Mediterranean, and with TEXTURES … with the sailing’s world : materials, ropes, woods, corks, nets … (see series « aMare » and « M.A.R. ») .… all the rough of things, all the vivid life of colours …
