Description
Sophie Baumgartner's jewellery pieces exhibit intriguing similarities between natural and artistic elements, creatures and architectural forms. They surprise with their precise definition of volume and space, individual elements and structural order, in their harmonious combination of opacity and transparency, light and darkness, weight and lightness, three-dimensional space and two-dimensional drawing, natural forms and artefacts. The brooches, fibules, and chains are sculptural objects developed from a plastic thinking approach, whose presentation field is the human body. This jewellery is not just an accessory but also a unique object, both wearable and appreciated as art, due to its author's specific approach to materials, shapes, and themes. Its uniqueness lies in its distinctive character, which can be experienced as both a small treasure and a work of art, capable of being worn or perceived independently.
