Transparencia

shape in constant movement

is a collection that arises from research on the behavior of shapes thanks to the characteristics of the materials used and to movement, it is a study on the concept of inconstancy and change or instability.

Transparencia jewels are made of Plexiglas very often, but not always, flanked by metals such as steel, copper, bronze, silver and brass.

This research is inspired by some interactive concepts typical of opart and kinetic art as the set of assembled forms is offered in countless versions depending on the point of view.

Through the shiny surfaces of the metals, the reflections return the image of what is next like a mirror, creating further tangible elements only through the gaze. Furthermore, the total volume of the jewel consequently takes on an independent meaning with an autonomous form that is detached from the matrix from which it arises.

The transparency of the Plexiglas allows you to glimpse the reiteration of the profiles side by side and in turn characterized by a perimeter that is not always reassuring or recognizable, but rather shapes whose paths change direction in an incisive way. It is also thanks to these accents that a sequential scenography is created, once again restoring the vision of an original volume.

 The movement factor helps to further accentuate the concept of instability in the overall shape of the jewel. The space left between the tiles, the movement of the wearer of the jewel and also of the observer favor the creation of other optical effects.
