Just one image this morning – but it is an image that is so rich you will click on the link to see more. In a brilliant move, Argentinian jewelry artist Gustavo Paradiso shares his inspiration, process and final product with one composite image of each piece in his 2009 collection. What is it that they say? A picture is worth 1,000 words. Click on the image to see this large – it is a VERY large image so please be patient.
Beautifully done. I wish more artists would include images of their inspiration and/or sketches/photos that give a glimpse of their process. It helps to understand the amount of work that goes into each piece.
damuse update
I hit the ground running when I returned home Saturday night, re-settling in the tiny space high above the ocean that will remain home base while I work on the apprenticeship project, preparing for my first group Streamline call (tonight), getting back to work on the damuse gallery concept and so much more. This weekend I will start to edit the photos/audio from my experience in DC and slowly bring you slideshows and commentary. Next weekend I will be in NYC to attend SOFA NY. Will you be there? Let me know – I’d love to say hello. Busy, busy, busy. See you tomorrow!
Lovely work. I agree I love to see the sketches and pre-work that goes into a piece. So many people don’t realize the amount of thought and work goes into some creations.
Enjoy SOFA! I’ll be in DC for the Smithsonian Craft Show which, thankfully, will take place even if the government shuts down. Keeping my fingers crossed that all works out. Will miss the museums if not.
His inspirations were inspirational to me. I loved that he incorporated the corners or sides of buildings into jewelry designs. Makes me realize I need to look up more often and broaden my outlook for sources of good design.
Yes, I like the sketches as well. I also like when artists share what is in their head and what they want to portray in their art on each piece. I have seen so much online, but I remember one in particular who did describe their feelings with each art piece.
Lovely stuff…again.
