Only 161 numbered and personalized units of the artist collections are produced. All the jewels are plated in 14k gold made by the famous jeweler Helena Rohner.
Anna Talens
My creative decisions are based on the combination of two principles: the use of repetitive manual work and the reapplication of objects already existing in the world (objet trouvé).
En palabras de Anna Talens
“Mis objetos e instalaciones son encuentros, diálogos entre materiales y elementos separados anteriormente en el mundo. La identidad resultante es una combinación de una funcionalidad inicial y el nuevo sentido que la llena, agregando un nuevo significado simbólico, poético y existencialista.
My creative decisions are based on the combination of two principles:
The use of repetitive manual work and the reapplication of objects already existing in the world (objet trouvé).
I recover traditional and primitive craft processes, using artistic resources such as repetition, arbitrariness and accumulation, by means of a minimalist disposition distorted by the presence of sensuality in materials, forms and colours.
I am always in search of the beauty of imperfection in objects altered by the passage of time or the manufacturing process…
For me, nature is also an endless source of beauty.
The outcome is unique pieces that connect the observer with something recognisable as well as strange; thus turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
All in all, I tell stories about the complexity of human existence. I share the poetry of simplicity, of what is rustic but beautiful, encouraging the contemplation of an object almost as sacred.
In the collection I have created for OneSixOne, I merge the figures of the Aurea circle and the symbol of infinity; two geometric patterns that speak about eternity and the existentialist philosophy built upon the idea that there is no beginning and no end. They both symbolise, as well, the invisible connection amongst all things in the world.
Basándome en los colores básicos y las sensaciones táctiles, he buscado la belleza silenciosa y la elegancia eterna. Detrás de esta colección, se pueden escuchar los ecos de mis creaciones anteriores: trabajos en oro basados en la técnica japonesa «kintsugi», o ganchillo metálico a mano, campos de alfileres sin fin que te invitan a tocar… en definitiva, la recreación de un mundo de ensueño que habla sobre la vida y los misterios comunes de la existencia de cualquier ser humano.”
