This is the sentence Sylvia likes to describe jewelry—‘jewelry and poetry have a similar essence. They are both small and concentrated, so that can be carried with you mentally and physically. They are full of metaphor and very personal.’
Contemporary jewellery appeals to Sylvia because of its infinite possibilities as a media of art. She enjoys the open attitude to different materials, ranging from precious metal to untraditional materials, which is a revolution of what we normally understand as jewellery. As an independent jewellery designer, jewellery is the media that she can tell stories and draw her imaginary world to the audience. Her works usually embrace languages of curves, organic forms and colour. Nature and stories bring her endless inspiration.
