It’s been four years since I posted here about Ana Hagopian’s paper jewelry. The Barcelona based artist still uses recycled paper that she colors and manipulates into nature-inspired shapes – and the work is still interesting. Lovely to revisit her collection and see so many new pieces.

“i play with paper, cutting and sticking to create volumes and shapes. my source of inspiration is nature and its infinite creations, its limitless colours, its surprising textures. paper is contradictory, provocative and humble because it is ephemeral. using it as a material has its roots in the philosophy of arte povera, which restores the value of the idea, intuition, thought and the individual.” ana hagopian
Flat Necklace
Rings
Accordion Bracelets
“when i’m creating my works, i unconsciously seek primal contact, the constant wonder of childhood, the magical vision that transforms the prosaic and everyday into something new and marvellous. my process is intuitive, through my hands i come into contact with the material, which guides me towards the final form.” ana hagopian

Wonderful!
I am so in love with these! The seed necklace & rings are favorites, though I must say, they are all wonderful. Working on my line up for my blogs artsyFASHIONWeek in September and Ana’s work is definitely on this list.
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent workmanship and color!
So nice to see your work
The recycled cardboard bracelets pictured in the group of four is one of the most AMAZING pictures I have seen in so many years. You work is wonderful.
