Kleo Glens, was born in Bologna in 1992. She studied Jewelry Design as a single-subject course at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. She is a goldsmith artisan and visual artist whose practice intertwines contemporary jewelry, performance, and video art.

Her research explores the hidden dimension of technology, transforming circuits, motherboards, and electronic components into esoteric symbols of our age, which she incorporates into each of her creations.

The memory preserved within hardware forms the conceptual core of her work: an invisible archive that she reinterprets through metal engravings, essential geometric forms, and reclaimed materials. In this way, jewelry becomes a talisman a bridge between a material past and a digital future an object capable of activating meanings, identities, and personal narratives.

Through her artistic practice, Kleo Glens creates visual universes inhabited by hybrid characters and alien figures that dwell within dreamlike and science-fiction-inspired landscapes. Her attention to set design, performance, and imagery expands the ritual value of her creations, transforming each work into a poetic device that investigates memory, transformation, and the possibility of other worlds.

“My artistic practice originates from goldsmithing, understood as a sculptural and performative language rather than mere ornamentation. Through jewelry, photography, video art, and performance, I explore the intersection of technology, memory, and archetypal symbolism. Reclaimed electronic components, precious metals, stones, and found materials become talismanic objects that connect the material and the immaterial, the ancestral and the digital.

My works investigate hidden systems of knowledge, personal and collective memory, and the possibility of alternative realities. By creating sculptural jewels that inhabit and transform the body, I construct visual narratives where ritual, identity, and transformation converge, inviting viewers to imagine new relationships between nature, technology, and consciousness.”
