Jewelry Inspiration: Spanish Creations Filled with Passion and Mystery

Klimt02 is a website that provides an international forum for contemporary jewelry in a creative space that offers knowledge, information, debates, and exchanges - all within the artistic realm of jewelry. Based in Barcelona, Spain, Kilmt02 inspires everyone interested in the selection, quality, art, technology, and creation of art jewelry. Sheffield School has kindly been given permission to share works of global designers here on our website, and today's featured designer, from Barcelona, creates work heavily laden (in a wonderful way) with an ironic worldview and a dark sense of wonderment.

Statement

In Nicolas Estrada we find an artist with his own voice and definition. His artistic direction comes from a deep foundation of fine irony mixed with a profound sense of reflection. Nicolas is a jeweler who is respectful of his sources of inspiration. He is a passionate artisan, always seeking new interpretations to the mundane and looking to distance himself from the simple world of artistic merchandise. He finds creativity in the unstoppable instinct of movement. The fluidity of this instinct has led him to dominate technique in its most variable and subtle aspects.

This is fine for me.

Pick a look that's going to complement your space. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean that the chandelier needs to be in the exact same style as your room's decor.

It is very important to add passion to any jewelry created. This only makes everything a lot more attractive and they sell pretty well.
