About Insinuations 주얼리 컬렉션

인시뉴에이션즈(Insinuations)는 예술 작품처럼 착용할 수 있도록 구상된 현대적인 주얼리 컬렉션이다. 이 컬렉션은 반지, 뱅글, 목걸이로 구성된다. 각 제품은 파라메트릭 3차원 소프트웨어로 설계된 후 숙련된 금세공 장인의 손을 거쳐 실버로 제작된다. 모든 표면은 정교하고 깔끔한 마감을 위해 세심하게 폴리싱된다. 미니멀한 형태는 신체의 곡선을 따르며 피부 위로 부드럽게 흐르는 듯한 인상을 준다. 이 컬렉션은 개인의 공간, 친밀함, 그리고 가까움을 향한 인간의 본능적 욕구를 탐구한다. 예술적·개념적 가치가 일상적인 착용성과 조화롭게 결합되어 있다.

Insinuations Art-to-Wear strikes a balance between a piece with artistic and conceptual value and, at the same time, one that is also functional and usable.

Production Technology: As an independent art-to-wear designer, I focus on designing and producing unique and high-quality jewelry. Each piece is made by hand by expert manufacturers. Jewelry craftsmanship is a skill that takes many years to perfect, and care, patience and passion are essential in every step of our process.
It is a enormous satisfaction to merge my profession as an Industrial Designer with an ancient trade, such as goldsmithing, to create these pieces that I call "Art to Wear", which finds the balance between a piece with artistic and conceptual value and, at the same time, functional and usable.
Design Challenge: The design, created in a parametric way through 3D programs, challenged the production to realize all the details to achieve the perfect final result.
The relationship with the proffesionals in charge of production is very important. Maintaining respectful and assertive communication when planting and launching the project is key to get an optimal final product.
Each piece is handcrafted in silver and polished to perfection, thus making a unique piece with a surreal image.
Research: My work focuses on creating pieces with a minimalist and pure aesthetic, using clean forms and neutral materials to highlight the form. I strive to tell an idea through the minimum expression. I try to save resources and reduce them as much as possible to focus on purely formal issues. I use materials in the most neutral and precise way possible to generate immaculate surfaces.
I like to make use of abstraction and reduction to suggest an idea without completely defining it, and in doing so, I offer the viewer a sense of doubt that can sometimes lead to complicity or curiosity, but also uncertainty.

I would like to push the boundaries of the concepts I have been working on, taking Haptics and Proxemics as main concepts. I am interested in generating reflection and questioning about the employment and perception that human beings make of their physical space, their personal privacy, how and with whom they use it. I am exploring the need for intimacy, which can be understood not only as sexual intimacy, but also as a sense of closeness. I believe that sensitivity is important in topics such as sensuality, erotism, curiosity, desire, freedom, and empowerment.
Inspiration: Insinuations Art-to-Wear is born from encounter the depths of intimacy. The sensuality of shapes arouses curiosity, provokes and invites us to perceive them. How far do we allow ourselves to explore our own sensitivity?

Insinuations Art-to-Wear sparks questions about the use and perception that humans have of their physical space, their personal privacy, and how and with whom they share it. It highlights the need for intimacy, which is not limited to sexual intimacy but also encompasses closeness and emotional connection.
Project Duration: In 2016, I created Insinuations, a contemporary jewelry line, as a result of my university work. The line quickly gained recognition beyond the academic sphere. In 2018 and 2019, my work was selected to be exhibited at Schmuck, one of the world's most prominent international fairs for jewelry. I was also a notable finalist for the Metropolitan Design Center Award and received two Creation Grants from the National Fund for the Arts in 2018 and 2021. In addition, I received the Good Argentine Design Hallmark recognition in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. These recognitions have had a significant impact on my career and have allowed me to continue exploring and expanding the boundaries of contemporary jewelry design.
Operation Flow: Each piece is meticulously designes and crafted to achieve the perfect morphology that slides and spills softly on the body, creating a unique and sensual experience for the wearer.
