Fundamentación de Obra
Al mirar hacia atrás, siento que la joyería contemporánea me encontró a mí, más que yo a ella. Nunca imaginé el asombroso universo que se abriría ante mis ojos y mi corazón. Mis piezas nacen de mis experiencias personales, de la mirada atenta al mundo que me rodea y, sobre todo, del amor y respeto profundo hacia la naturaleza.
Me apasiona dar una segunda vida a los objetos, trabajando con materiales reciclados o de descarte que, además de transformarse en bellas piezas artísticas, revelan una belleza intrínseca propia. Utilizo materiales nobles como la madera, pero también exploro texturas y formas a través del papel, la tela y los metales, cada uno como un soporte distinto y único.
Concibo la joyería contemporánea como una rama del arte que tiene el poder de movilizar, comunicar y emocionar. Es una forma de conectar con el cuerpo del otro desde el amor y el respeto, permitiendo que mis creaciones hablen en mi lugar, con voz propia y sincera.
My pieces are created as a consequence of my personal experiences, of observing the world around me, and mainly of love and respect for nature. I also like the possibility of giving things a second chance and thus working with discarded, recyclable materials, which can not only become beautiful pieces of art, but also tell us about their own intrinsic beauty. I think of contemporary jewelry as one more branch of art, therefore, I believe that it mobilizes, communicates, moves and excites us. It is a possibility of coming into contact with the other’s body in a loving and respectful way, letting my pieces speak for me.
Cecilia Mortola’s Jewelry Work Grounds:
I’ve always had the feeling that underneath things’ real appearance a whole universe coexists. A universe that most people can’t see although it is so clear to me. To reveal this parallel universe’s essence: its colours, textures and structures is what inspires me to shape it.
“Many small remnants of the world we inhabit – which in many cases would unfailingly be discarded as waste – whisper their essence to me. I see the revelation and turn them into the things they want to be”
The artist’s need to reveal what she perceives gives these objects the unique perspective of a subjective, fantastic world. Small pieces of unremarkable, ordinary, daily objects become art.
