Jewellery as artistic canvases

  • • Carla's painterly strokes are present in her jewellery
  • • The jewellery she makes is contemporary and artistic
  • • She has participated in several jewellery exhibitions

The work of Carla García Durlán sits between the craft of jewellery and the art of painting – what is indisputable is that her creations are inspiring and nourished by many creative inputs. Using different materials – mainly metal, wood and textiles – she assembles and blends them, using “arte povera” as an artistic and cultural reference for her artistic and contemporary jewellery pieces. Her creative process is a personal journey of introspection. She uses her life experience to inform her work. By exploring these themes in her work she explores her inner self. Her jewellery is characterised by bold colour strokes and her one-off pieces reflect truly unique moments. Carla has been living in Barcelona and the daily life and decadent aesthetic of some of its neighbourhoods is a source of inspiration for her.
