“At the beginning of my work, I found the world of jewellery a place that gathers varied aspects of art and design; It was this conjunction that attracted me the most. The result of the counterpoint between imagination and ergonomic possibilities, a work where I could express myself and that can be adopted by another, portable.
Today, with our planet burning in flames for multiple reasons, I think of jewellery as a communication tool. As a voice to draw attention, to establish a link between individuals and talk about what worries us.

I use various materials, depending on the projects. As I am a born collector, my first search is among the drawers and shelves of my workshop where the objects that I collect with a glance are piled up: pieces of furniture, clocks that do not work, stones, colored papers, texts, branches and seeds, shells. All treasures waiting to be able to say something. And so, I begin.” - Paula Isola
